Bloodline: Alliance

Shenna, a thief and outlaw, impulsively rescues a group of strangers from certain death, and is seriously wounded for her trouble. Now in her debt, the group nurses Shenna back to health. They offer her, and the wolf that never leaves her side, safety until she is well enough to leave them. But for Shenna, remaining with the group poses a threat far deadlier than her injury, for she hides a great secret that if discovered, will kill her. Though she is determined to run back to the life of a thief, fate intervenes, and Shenna finds herself swept along a dark and treacherous journey. Soon Shenna discovers that the group hides disturbing secrets of their own. As she travels, she glimpses a mystery that touches on brutal world affairs that have been building to a climax over a thousand years. And their secrets begin to grow even more sinister, for she hears whispers of a terrifying deal made with an ancient and deadly foe - a deal that has sent Shenna's world to the brink of total destruction.
