Ava was human! So why had the Council ordered her to Phoenix Academy—a place teeming with supernatural beings where the only other humans were donors? Ava's plan to keep her head down and survive until they realised she didn't belong there was shattered from day one. Clashing with the insufferably arrogant Zeke made keeping her mouth shut impossible. In his final year at the Academy, Zeke was set to become Alpha of the largest pack in the country. His first act of power would be to take revenge on the pack that killed his mother. But the arrival of a stubborn human girl with the most intoxicating scent threatened everything he’d worked for. A human should never have survived even a day at the academy. Yet despite the taunts, the ‘accidents’, and the threats to her life, the little human did. And every day that she did, his control slipped. Even with everything he stood to lose, he ached to make her submit to him in every single way.

Their original argument: Shows how globalisation theory conceives of the 'local' ; reveals that people have a sense of elective belonging based on where they choose to put down roots. Suggests that the feel of a place is much more strongly influenced by the values and lifestyles of those migrating to it ; reinvigorates debates in urban and community studies by recovering the 'local' as an intrinsic aspect of globalization
