Every bloodline has a secret. Hers has claws. Scarlett Vecchio was supposed to inherit a future-not a curse. On the morning of her first transformation, Scarlett discovers that the women of her family have carried an ancient lycan curse for generations. Her grandmother, Rossa Constentina-Vecchio, mob boss to the Vecchio Family, ships Scarlett off to a remote mountain monastery. She must learn to control the monster inside her and embrace who she is. But monsters aren't the only predators hunting in the shadows. As a rival mafia family wages war and unimaginable tragedy shatters her world, Scarlett realizes revenge demands more than anger-it demands sacrifice. Guided by an ancient legacy, a blood-red hood, and the wolf she once feared, Scarlett embraces the darkness to become something far more terrifying than the evil she hunts. Every legend has an origin. This is hers.
