Seventeen year old Pride is a tracker—a werewolf with a hunger for blood. Taught to trick and to lure, she is the perfect killing machine. Kept leashed in the cellar by a master who is as ruthless as he is powerful, Pride dreams of freedom, of living a normal life, but escape from the compound is near impossible and disobedience comes with a price. When she learns her master intends to breed her she knows she has to run. Pride soon learns if she is to survive in the wild, she must trust in the boy who promises her freedom, the same boy she was sent to hunt. With life and death hanging in the balance the two find themselves on the run from the Paranormal Task Force—officers who shoot first and ask questions later—as well as her master’s handlers. Can Pride flee the man who has held her captive since birth and find sanctuary in the arms of a boy who has captured her heart? Or will her master find her first?

I thought nothing could be worse than being fated to the Fae men who killed my parents, who saved me from being hunted down by a group of werewolves. I was so wrong. Forced back home with them, I became their prisoner. Tortured by their recruits. My life went from one nightmare into another, until they claimed me. They forced a bond on me that I didn’t want. Or so I thought. I’m fated to be theirs, to help strengthen them and their magic. But instead, I found my own strength. First, I tempted darkness, and now I've got a taste for it, there is nothing more addictive. They're becoming an addiction I don't want to kick. Little did they know, I was fast becoming theirs. With our bonds forged they can no longer decide if they hate me or love me. Maybe both, but now they'll see I can give as good as I can take. And taking is exactly what I plan on doing. Taking their magic and their hearts. If they're lucky, I won't break them the way they tried to break me because now they're realizing what true power is, and I hold it all. I am their keeper. Keeper of their power. Keeper of their darkest secrets. But more importantly, keeper of their souls.

With the fall of a group of assassins just over two years ago, the team of heroes have since been focusing their attention on one hundred extremist bases that continue the corrupt code. As the heroes are determined to confront a dreaded mobster, an ancient legend is set to make history on the world. An enigmatic portal, believed to be the answer to the problems of all life-forms, becomes the focal point for Canavin’s team among other alliances. And as this portal is an attraction for various humans and Pixalians, the sole way to locate it is with a map that only the greatest travelers can interpret. Canavin’s team is strongminded to understand the map as it has intrigued the members of a reawakened faction of shadows. There are opposing goals for the portal as creatures of many races gather together to uncover its secrets, confident to use it for malicious purposes. Time is rapidly slipping away, and the Master Defenders must stay united as a ‘shield’ in order to challenge the other factions and obtain a hopeful future for all nations.
