A wolf pack divided. A heart torn in two. How will Calla ever choose?

The first book in the internationally bestselling supernatural romance series by New York Times bestselling author Andrea Robertson!


“A glittering, dark gem.” —Cynthia Leitich Smith, New York Times bestselling author of Eternal

Calla Tor is the alpha female of a shape-shifting wolf pack. She is destined to marry Ren Laroche, the pack’s alpha male. Together, they would rule their pack, guarding sacred sites for the Keepers. But when Calla saves a beautiful human boy who captures her heart, she begins to question everything she’s ever known about her world—her fate, her existence, and the orders the Keepers have asked her to follow. With her wolf pack divided, Calla knows she will have to make a choice. But will she follow her heart if it means losing everything, including her own life?

In this romantasy series opener, some choices are worth more than fate.


***Note: This book was formerly released under the author name Andrea Cremer.
Andrea Cremer spent her childhood daydreaming while roaming the forests and lakeshores of Northern Wisconsin. She now lives in Minnesota, but she thinks of her homeland as the "Canadian Shield" rather than the Midwest. Andrea has always loved writing and has never stopped writing, but she only recently plunged into the deep end of the pool that is professional writing. When she's not writing, Andrea teaches history at a very nice liberal arts college in St. Paul. In the little spare time she can find, Andrea stares up at trees, rescues infant rabbits from predatory cats, and invents names for pug puppies with her husband. She has an unfortunate tendency to spill things—white carpets beware! View titles by Andrea Cremer
RAVE REVIEWS FOR THE NIGHTSHADE SERIES:

“Yet another young adult novel filled with supernatural beasties, but this teen wolf tale is actually good and will keep you reading intently.”—ENTERTAINMENTWEEKLY.COM

“An imaginative . . . paranormal-suspense story. The book’s underlying themes of individualism and freedom . . . lift it to a higher level.”—KIRKUS REVIEWS

“There’s enough action to engage any reluctant reader . . .will no doubt have teens debating the relative merits of werewolves versus vampires.” —BOOKLIST

“Clever young adult saga that leaves readers on the edge of their seats.”—ASSOCIATED PRESS

“Nightshade is historical fiction—with a modern pop culture twist . . .a book for well-read hopeless romantics who like their heroines conflicted, their love interests smoldering, and their passions triangulated and torrid, yet unfulfilled.” —LOS ANGELES TIMES

“Sexy and thrilling.” —BECCA FITZPATRICK, NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF HUSH, HUSH

“Nightshade is a glittering, dark gem.”—CYNTHIA LEITICH SMITH, NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF ETERNAL
