About the book
In The Calling, the sizzling second book in the Darkness Rising trilogy, New York Times bestselling author Kelley Armstrong pumps up the romance, danger, and suspense that left readers of The Gathering clamoring for more.
Maya Delaney's paw-print birthmark is the mark of what she truly is—a skin-walker. She can run faster, climb higher, and see better than nearly everyone else.
Experiencing intense connections with the animals that roam the woods outside her home, Maya knows it's only a matter of time before she's able to Shift and become one of them. And she believes there may be others in her small town with surprising talents.
Now Maya and her friends have been forced to flee from their homes during a forest fire they suspect was deliberately set. Then they're kidnapped, and after a chilling helicopter crash, they find themselves in the Vancouver Island wilderness with nothing but their extraordinary abilities to help them get back home.
With a team of hunters closing in and their own powers dangerously unstable, will their extraordinary gifts be enough to survive?
- Supernatural Powers: Six teens with extraordinary gifts—from a skin-walker to a demon-hunter—must master their abilities before their enemies do.
- Wilderness Survival: After a terrifying helicopter crash, the group is stranded on Vancouver Island, forced to rely on their instincts to outlast the elements and their pursuers.
- Found Family: Trust is tested and alliances are forged as a group of mismatched teens must become a family to stay alive.
- High-Stakes Conspiracy: Unravel the secrets of Project Phoenix, an experiment that created them, and the rival Cabals that now want to control them.
