    I can see everyone's future but my own. 
     
     
     
    I've lived most of my life as a recluse because leaving my house means being bombarded with visions of the possible futures that exist with every step I take. If that person crosses the road here, they live, but if they go to the traffic lights at the corner, they'll get hit by someone running the red. 
     
     
     
    It's a curse, and one I do my best to hide from until I'm dragged on a mission to rescue my sister. Not that my assassin sibling needs my help. 
     
     
     
    What I don't expect is to be hit by a wave of power that throws my ability into overdrive—and threatens my sanity. 
     
     
     
    Rather than drag my sisters into my nightmare, I enlist the aid of a professor specializing in arcane history. A man I could easily love, but I already know how that ends—with him dying at my feet. 
     
     
     
    There has to be a way to change the future, but what if my choices bring about the apocalypse?

    I'd pretty much given up on family. Raised in the foster system, I've always been on my own and thought it would be that way forever. 
     
     
     
    But now I have a new cat shifter pride, I've been reunited with the father who never knew I existed, and I have a new love—my Alpha, Anthony Holder. 
     
     
     
    Anthony is my fated mate, and I'm drawn to him like I've never been to another person. Our bond is hot and irresistible, and for the first time I see a future no longer marred by loneliness and solitude. 
     
     
     
    But the rogue shifter who bit me is still out there, and he's bent on vengeance against the Alpha, and everyone in the pride. If we don't track him down before he strikes again, more innocents could be at risk, and that bright future could drift away before it even begins.
