Black Wolves are forbidden in Akaidia. So what happens when one chooses Zuri?
A World Tainted by Shadow.
In the land called Akaidia, there is only one animal that is illegal to bond with. But that very animal---a black wolf---selects ten year old Zuri on her choosing day, throwing both of their lives upside down. The wolf is cast out, and Zuri is forced to live the rest of her live as the only warrior in Akaidia with no bonded companion.
But all that changes when four years later, the wolf returns, plunging Zuri into a new, horrifying conflict that threatens the very world they live in. New friends, fatal battles, and darker secrets than any of them ever could have imagined quickly becomes the new normal for her. And as an ancient threat rises up from below, Zuri must embrace her new identity in order to save everything she now holds dear.
The fate of all Akaidia rests in the hands of a group of exiled teenagers.
But if they want any chance of saving their world---they're going to have to find a way to unite it before the shadows overtake them forever.
