In Boston's elite Hawthorne family—old-money wolf-blooded Alphas—the sole legitimate heir Eli is a rare, weak Omega, treated as a stain and brutally bullied by adopted Kane, while the whole family uses him as a pawn. Three years ago, Eli unknowingly calmed a young Sevyn, who has never forgotten him. Now Sevyn rules the Black family and half of Wall Street as a top Alpha; he has spent years quietly consuming Hawthorne's empire and guarding Eli, unwilling to let anyone trample what he claims as his destined bond.
