A lonely girl. A dangerous Wolf. A plan that will either save them or break them. 

Ruby Contos is the best young journalist in her city. She has interviewed hostile criminals and a former assassin without flinching. Just don’t ask her to stand up to her grandmother, the blunt newspaper editor who rules her life with an iron fist. 

When Ruby gets a job offer from a famous art studio, she sees a way out of the professional journalism that is slowly crushing her spirit. She’s close - there’s just one story left to write before she can leave. 

All she must do is trust a Wolf who refuses to trust her, journey across a wasteland, survive in a city run by criminals, and confront the continent’s most terrifying enemy. 

As things go from bad to worse, Ruby must face the question she’s always been afraid to ask - how much is her life really worth?
