But when an unthinkable act of betrayal shatters the peace, the fragile balance between predators and prey will rest in the paws of three unlikely heroes.

When the Wild Pack discovers that a traitor is in their midst, the ensuing tensions and suspicions threaten the precarious peace among the survivors, challenging protective Storm to do whatever she can to keep everyone safe.
