Julie has been best friends with Emmett for a year—late nights at the pub, bushwalks through the autumn fog, the easy comfort of knowing someone completely. She's a beekeeper from a long line of honey-makers, running her family's business while caring for her ailing mother. Meanwhile, Emmett's a wildlife tracker with amber eyes and secrets he's never shared.

Their friendship is unshakeable. Until a casual touch sends an electric jolt through both of them, awakening something neither understands. Emmett begins pulling away, his evasiveness leaving Julie confused and hurt. When she finally corners him in a secluded fern gully, the tension between them explodes into a kiss that shatters every boundary they've ever had. In the heat of the moment, his shifter instincts surge beyond his control—and he bites her, marking her as his mate without meaning to.

Horrified, he vanishes, leaving Julie with a wound that refuses to heal and nightmares that feel too real. Days pass, and Julie starts changing. Heightened senses. A fever that won't break. An inexplicable pull to the wilderness. When Emmett finally reveals the truth—he's a thylacine shifter, an extinct Tasmanian Tiger reborn in blood and instinct, and she is becoming one too—the pack's authority demands she prove herself worthy through three brutal trials or face death.

But the real challenge for Julie isn't the trials—it's trusting the man who marked her, the best friend who broke her heart to protect her. Can she become what she was marked to be, and will Emmett surrender his walls before she loses herself completely?
