Envisioning a summer vacation in the humble Singapore home of a boy she hopes to marry, Chinese American Rachel Chu is unexpectedly introduced to a rich and scheming clan that strongly opposes their son's relationship with an American girl.

When Nicholas Young hears that his grandmother, Su Yi, is on her deathbed, he rushes to be by her bedside; but he's not alone. The entire Shang-Young clan has convened from all corners of the globe to stake claim on their matriarch's massive fortune. With each family member vying to inherit Tyersall Park, a trophy estate on 64 prime acres in the heart of Singapore, Nicholas's childhood home turns into a hotbed of speculation and sabotage. As her relatives fight over heirlooms, Astrid Leong is at the center of her own storm, desperately in love with her old sweetheart Charlie Wu, but tormented by her ex-husband; a man hell bent on destroying Astrid's reputation and relationship. Meanwhile Kitty Pong, married to China's second richest man, billionaire Jack Bing, still feels second best next to her new step-daughter, famous fashionista Colette Bing.

"There is darkness at the heart of the Wild Pack. Whisper is dead--and Storm is certain that his wounds could only have been inflicted by another dog. Storm doesn't want to believe that one of her Packmates could have done such a vicious thing. But as she wrestles with her suspicions in the light of Sun-Dog, at night Storm is haunted by terrifying dreams--visions of fear and shadows that guid her paws through the forest while she sleeps"--Publisher.

For the first time Storm can remember, she has a place in a Pack, and the world that was devastated by the Big Growl is finally at peace. But tensions are rising among the dogs of the Wild Pack--and the greatest danger they face may come from within.
