'Freya has spent her life on the run—trying to blend in amongst Mundanes. Like her father, she is a Syphon with the ability to draw energy from others, including their powers. When Freya accidentally draws energy from a friend, she and her family are on the run again and return to her mum’s hometown of Blackwood, where Freya’s abilities remain a secret.

'Freya’s mum and brother are wolf shifters—genetics that skipped Freya. Freya has to decide by eighteen whether she joins their pack or remains independent.

'Freya discovers Blackwood is a secretive community comprised mostly of Supernaturals like herself. Supers exist outside of mundane laws. With many communities like Blackwood competing for power, strict rules protect the Blackwood community.

'Freya meets Beau, rumoured to be a lone wolf, although loosely attached to the Northern Blackwood wolves, her family’s rival pack. He is hostile towards Freya due to the power he senses in her, but when he rescues her from a risky situation, they become more than friends, creating tension with her family and rival packs.

'What happens next in the town where nothing is normal could cost Freya her freedom…'

'Freya can no longer hide from the world or herself. When she’s forced to face her fears, she must choose her own path. Will she choose the people she cares about and a pair of golden eyes, or will the taste of power sway her? It’s harder than it seems when you’re harbouring the soul of a homicidal mercenary.'

'You can't choose your relatives... Thanks to Freya's long lost great grandmother, a bloody war is knocking on Blackwood's door - a war that could destroy everything Freya has grown to love. But Blackwood and its residents are more than Freya first thought them to be. And when your crackpot ancestor is on the warpath, there is no better time to call in favours. Will Blackwood prove itself a force to be reckoned with or will it crumble?'  (Publication summary)
