Now, with a dangerous threat on the horizon, the pack must make a choice. Will they trust the silver outsider with the task of leading? If Faolan can't fulfill his destiny, it could be the end of the wolves of the Beyond.

Unless Faolan can inspire the pack to stand together, it could be the end of the wolves of the Beyond.
