What’s it about?

Two Wolves Collide.

Sister and brother,

Olivia Hunter and Mark Mayweather -

separated from one another all their lives -

are once again drawn together;

however, their reunion does not unfold

as they hoped it would,

and as a result they find themselves

on opposite sides of a life and death struggle

that will expose who they are, what they are,

and what kind of a werewolf they both are.

And witness the reunification

and the reckoning of the relationship

of Olivia Hunter and Vega - The Vampire King.

Will their love survive the battle being fought

beneath The Shadow of The Wolf?
