Nai hat sich ihr ganzes Leben darauf vorbereitet, den Platz als Anführerin ihres Rudels einzunehmen. An der Alpha Academy, einer Eliteschule, soll sie nun die dafür nötige Elementar-Magie erlernen. Die vier Wächter, die sie dorthin eskortieren, entpuppen sich jedoch als jene Männer, die Nai vor langer Zeit zu ihren Erzfeinden erklärt hat. Als auf ihrer Haut plötzlich magische Runen erscheinen und ausgestoßene Gestaltwandler die Schule angreifen, scheint Nais Lage verzwickter denn je. Doch dann trifft sie auf einem Maskenball ihren Mate - ihre große Liebe, vom Schicksal vorherbestimmt.

Für Nai steht alles auf dem Spiel: das Band zu ihrem Schicksalsgefährten, die Sicherheit ihrer Familie und ihre eigene Freiheit. Die Akademie der Hochmagier ist völlig anders, als sie es sich vorgestellt hat, und Nai wünscht sich nichts sehnlicher, als zurück an Rage' Seite zu kehren. Doch als dunkle Mächte nicht nur Shifter Island, sondern auch High Mage Island bedrohen, müssen sich die Magier und Gestaltwandler zusammenraufen, um nicht jede Hoffnung auf Frieden zu verlieren. Nai muss sich fragen, wer wirklich auf der Seite des Bösen und des Guten steht - und wem sie vertrauen kann.

Nais erste Monate auf der Alpha Academy waren nicht gerade einfach: Ihr Schicksalsgefährte ist aus dem rivalisierenden Clan, Selkie-Angriffe halten die Schule in Atem, und sie entkommt nur knapp einem Mordanschlag. Eins ist klar: Das Leben auf Shifter Island ist schwieriger als gedacht. Als einer von Nais Freunden umgebracht wird, ist sie fest entschlossen, ihn zurückzuholen. Sie macht sich auf nach Dark Row, um den Wächter der Seelen aufzusuchen. Aber die Reise ins Totenreich verläuft ganz anders als geplant.
