Gail has spent the better part of a year missing her sister, Valerie, who took off on a trip around the country to "find herself," and trying to pick up the pieces of her life after a messy divorce.

When Valerie returns pregnant, with a husband, strangers who can turn into wolves, and a story about parallel dimensions, plagues, mates, and magic, Gail doesn't know what to believe or how to answer Valerie's request that she cross a portal into another world with her.

Caiden is a soldier, a bodyguard to the alpha of a shapeshifter pack. His only role in accompanying Jackson, his alpha and friend, and Jackson's wife, Valerie, Earthside, is to protect them. He was in no way supposed to mate the human woman they were sent to bring to Valeterra.

But, as with all things, the Fates will have their way.
