Now an agent of the Shifter Squad, Alex learns more about the evil witch who kidnapped her when she was a baby. It seems Irene Dawson has a vendetta against the older generation of the squad. The witch is using Alex as a tool and she's relentless in her pursuit of revenge.

The younger generation are sent to investigate dangerous creatures that keep cropping up across the US. Alex is constrained by the spells that are tattooed on her body. She feels useless compared to the others. It's frustrating not being able to use all of her abilities, but at least she has a couple of skills the witch can't control. She might not be able to fight, or use weapons to take down her enemies, but she's far from defenseless, thanks to her necromancy.

Alex's attraction to Jax increases as they spend more time together. Agent Remington is torn between his duty to the squad and what his heart wants. They've both had traumatic childhoods and have been damaged by their abusive wardens. If they're fated to be together, they'll overcome all obstacles, but it won't be an easy road to travel.
