Nate never wanted to be king... But not even kings get everything they want. All Nate ever wanted was to have a normal life, be a good cop, and someday raise a normal family. A real family, with real parents, not like the human foster system he grew up in. Rogue vampires have built an army of Huntsmen to destroy the shifters, leaving humanity vulnerable to enslavement. Nate's first royal duty is to save the were - and humanity - from this evil scourge. Nate is already struggling to control the half-wolf, half-human Lycos within him when it decides to reject Janelle, his mate and the mother of his child. Now Nate must protect his family from himself. If he can save his family from the Lycos . . . If he can get all the shifters to accept him as their king . . . If he can save humanity from the Huntsmen . . . Maybe, just maybe, he can be the king he was born to be.
