Ivy and her family begin their lives at Wildwood, working on finishing construction and creating what they and their clans need. But as work begins, the Shadow Council, the ruling body for all of the hidden clans, collapses leaving uncertainty in its demise.
Worries arise as Ivy expects old grudges to be redressed and new feuds to begin among the volatile clans. But as she seeks security, bulking up the protections around those she most cares about, a new threat arises.
The Brotherhood, a group thought long ago exterminated has returned and as Ivy investigates her own past, seeming answers to long held questions, she begins to see their influence everywhere. Can the fractured clans gather to address this threat, or will their divisions destroy them?
