Inside Malaya Walters lurks a power that has terrified her for most of her young and isolated life. After being bitten by a strange wolf as a child, Malaya could now change into a wolf herself, much to the horror of her parents. As she grew up, she repressed her true capabilities and hid her werewolf status by controlling her emotions and staying calm. She felt the only way to protect her family and the customers at her dad’s coffee shop was to feel disconnected from the wolf within. Every full moon tested her resolve, but since she was the only werewolf she knew, Malaya was resigned to keep this power at bay no matter what. That is, until a mysterious stranger wanders into the coffee shop, orders a latte, and introduces her to a secret world of night magic.
