BEFORE THE MOON

Before the moon sets her free, it will make her prey.

Sixteen-year-old Kat Borisyuks brother is dead. Her parents wont talk about it.

All she has is the official story, a house full of silence, and Diurnal, the bitter little pill that buries her wolf under headaches and a life she can barely stand. Her father visits a grave he never mentions. In a snowbound town in upstate New York, that silence is the whole of Kats world.

Then, in the middle of a fierce blizzard, a boy from New York City skids into her life. And for the first time since Errol died, Kat sees a way out.

Eddie is reckless, magnetic, impossibly alive. With her estranged Aunt Anika in the city and Moon Shifter Academy finally within reach, Kat believes shes escaped into the future she was meant to have.

But freedom has a scent.

Every day the pills wear thinner, her wolf grows stronger, and something in the dark has caught her trail. Her family has been hiding more than grief. And the closer Kat gets to the life she wants, the closer the hunt gets to everyone she loves.

She thinks shes breaking out of a cage.

She doesnt know it was built from love…or what it was keeping out.

The prequel to The Last Wolf.

Before the academy. Before the pack. Before the moon.
