Elise was born from power but raised in chains. Once the daughter of a great bloodline, she is now nothing more than a slave, forced to kneel before the wolves who killed her family. They mock her, beat her, and strip her of her worth-yet every Alpha, every powerful wolf, shifts uneasily when she enters the room. They sense it. The light she does not even know she carries. When she is cast out and branded rogue, Elise collides with Emeric-the most feared Alpha of all. Cold. Merciless. Deadly. He spares her life, though he cannot explain why. He does not see her as his mate. Not yet. Elise's wolf lies hidden, locked away in the shadows, waiting for the moment to rise. But when blood spills and packs collide, her secret awakens. Her light could destroy him-or save him.
