Synopsis A once-powerful werewolf named Gideon Gray battles with his estranged daughter, Victoria, in the centre of a world where the paranormal is thriving. Their history together has been tarnished by Gideon's spectacular fall from grace and his overbearing protectiveness. Dreaming of escaping her father's shadow, Victoria is tormented by the weight of an old prophecy and her hidden abilities. When Victoria is abducted by the rival faction, the Vargens, under the ambitious leadership of Deba Blackthorn, their already precarious world comes crashing down. The Vargens want to use her abilities to fulfil a sinister prophecy that has the potential to change their world. Motivated by remorse and a strong sense of duty, Gideon embarks on a risky mission to save Victoria.

The narrative culminates in a grand confrontation between Gideon and his allies and Deba Blackthorn.
