Cooper Bennett wants nothing more than a new life. 

An impoverished high school senior, he can't seem to catch a break with both an abusive father at home and the star quarterback bullying him at school. Little does he know that one late summer night a monstrous burden would clamp down on him, finally making all his wishes come true. 

Sparks fly as Cooper Bennett finds himself in the midst of a battle between dark forces and alpha shifters in this epic paranormal adventure that turns the sleepy mountain town of Goodman, GA upside down.

The Bear Kingdoms of Louisiana are on the brink of war, sparked by the sudden appearance of a mysterious amulet in the swamplands. Adding to the problems, troops from a demon army called the Noctis begin laying waste to the bayou.

Back in Georgia, Cooper Bennett’s not so secret life is quickly becoming a mess. The Alpha Power within him is taking a toll while the two loves of his life - Alyssa Noble and Billy Arnett - are dealing with drastic changes of their own.

As the southern conflict spreads, threatening to engulf shifter and human communities alike, fate brings five disparate groups together to combat the darkness. Can such an unlikely alliance succeed in saving everything they hold dear, or will their differences be enough to unravel what little hope and time remain?
