Nina Lawrence's life seems perfect: married to the famous actor Alex Johnson, she lives in the spotlight alongside the man everyone admires. Charming, thoughtful, impeccable. But behind the scenes, Alex changes. His words become sharp blades, his attentiveness turns into control, and Nina ends up always feeling out of place.
Her only refuge is art school and her best friend Alice. Until Ethan Kramer, Alice's brother, arrives: magnetic, protective, unlike anyone she's ever met. With him, Nina truly breathes. With him, she can be herself.
But Ethan hides a secret: he is a hybrid, half-wolf and half-vampire, the Alpha of New York and guardian of the fragile peace between two warring races. And that's not the only mystery. Nina, too, carries within her an ancient, forbidden power... something that could upset the balance of the hidden world.
Meanwhile, Alex is drawn deeper and deeper into the shadows, lured by an enigmatic figure: a woman wearing an animal mask. Her name is Lysandra. Visionary and ruthless, she dreams of an upside-down world, where wounded women rule and the men who destroyed them pay.
She is the voice of rage, of forgotten women. One of them was her mother.
Two women, two visions: Nina, who believes in balance and free love. Lysandra, who seeks justice through vengeance.
Can a woman raised in violence learn something different? Perhaps.
But it won't be a man who saves her.
It will be time.
