Gryndean village is hidden from the world by a protection spell, keeping the inhabitants safe from harm. Alesia, the Alpha of the wolf pack, is with cub and soon to give birth. However, in the past, her births haven't gone well, and this one is no exception.

Meyrick is born, a son, but not all is as it seems. He appears mundane—a human—and once he reaches his late teens, he will have to leave the village. Only wolves can remain when they reach adulthood.

But when Meyrick is seven, something happens—something wonderful and miraculous as well as frightening and downright evil—and Meyrick finds there is more to him than even he thought. With hunters on his trail, to rid the realm of a mundane such as him and to find the hidden, enchanted seal given to him by an angel upon his birth—a seal Meyrick is unware of. Meyrick must prove he is worthy to fight them off. There is help from The Ice Wizard—a young-looking but ancient being—and all the villagers as well as Meyrick's dearest friend Marcus, little Cloe, and a surprising offer of solidarity from one of his foes, Nolan.

Will they defeat the hunters? Will the villagers accept the new Meyrick? But most of all, will Meyrick accept himself when he finds out what and who he truly is?
