Full moon. Glowing eyes. Red lips. And such sharp, sharp teeth . . .
In the kin world, girls Ruby de Varre's age are expected to play nice, get betrothed, and start a family – especially if they're rootkin and the fate of the clan is riding on them. But after a childhood of running wild in the woods, it's hard to turn completely around and be demure. Even if your Gran is expecting it.
Then Conrad, handsome and charming, from a clan across the Waste, comes to New Haven to seal an alliance between their two families. The sparks fly immediately. Conrad is smart, dominant, and downright gorgeous. Yet as Ruby gets to know him more, she starts to realize something's . . . off.
Then the murders start. A killer stalks the city streets, and just when Ruby starts to suspect the unimaginable, she becomes the next target. Now Ruby's about to find out that Conrad's secrets go deeper than she ever could have guessed – and it's up to Ruby to save her Gran, her clan, and maybe even herself . . .
