Publisher's Synopsis
In book 1 of this seriea. Asena is fresh out of the military. With no family, she finds herself in Starbuck, Washington helping her only friend, Izzy, start a bakery. Hank Bullis, A.K.A., Bull, knows the bakery isn't the right fit, so he offers Asena a deputy position along with a place in his family and his pack. Each year the shifters find it harder and harder to hide their true identity from the unassuming humans. As the only human in the Northguard Clan, Asena proves that she is just as capable as the shifter wolves in protecting her new family. Legends have been passed down through the generations that the shifters were originally from the Faery Realm. No one really believes the tale until three visitors show up on Christmas Eve with a proposition to take the shifters back to their original homeland. The problem is, the Northguard Clan will have to fight in a war to return and earn their place among Faery-kind. Humans don't survive long in the Faery Realm but that won't stop Asena, she will do whatever it takes to protect those that she loves. This is her one shot at the family she has always wanted. No one in the Human Realm stands a chance, and no one, beast or Fae from Faery will stop her. King Asher of the Winter Kingdom grows more troubled by the day as war approaches closer. When he is advised to find Bull and his five in the Human Realm, the King of Winter is against it. A fortuitous meeting with the shifters takes a turn for the worse when he finds a human among their ranks. Tension, fists, and words fly in a showdown between the human and the King of Deep Winter. Can King Asher lay aside his prejudices in an effort to win this war? In book one of this series, Asher may have found more than he was looking for. He may have to rely on the remarkable abilities of the human female which goes against everything he believes. For the shifters to join his ranks, he must allow one human and he's soon to find out that there's more to Asena than what he first thought.
