'Wolfish Anise has always been teased for being a lesser fae of Elphyne. She wishes for two things: the kisses of a long-time friend who never dates outside his breed and to find the elusive Ice-Witch, who promises to give Anise magic and the ability to shift.

'Caraway left his pacifist family to join the Guardians and became a ruthless protector of Elphyne. He wants to prove his oxen-shifter breed can be more than docile prey, but two years ago, he failed at protecting the most important fae in his life—his best friend Anise.

'When a new mission forces them together on a quest, secret desires are revealed—but have they been revealed too late? Even if Caraway can stop Anise from making the worst mistake of her life, no one walks away from the Ice-Witch with their soul intact.'
