The first book in the Rivers and Roads trilogy, “Unsteady” follows Esperanza (Espy) Alvarez as she is rescued from the clutches of her abusive father and is brought to live with her college-aged brother at his university. There, Espy focuses on her art and her studies as she works through her trauma and navigates what it means to be a modern omega after years of brainwashing. Though she finds herself unexpectedly falling for a pack, she can’t help but feel equally drawn towards one of her brother’s packmates, an alpha who should, in theory, be like another brother. As terrorist groups emerge and omegas start disappearing, Espy worries she’ll be taken back to the very hell she just escaped. Confused, overwhelmed, but determined to find her strength – everything is fine. Until suddenly, it isn’t.
