✨Previously called Ruthless✨ He's cold hearted, dangerous, and not one to be messed with. Leandor the alpha of midnight shadow pack has a reputation for getting what he wants whether you give it to him willingly or not. He fears no one but everyone fears him until a lone soul wanders on his territory. She's been on the run for what seems like ages. Fear is the only thing driving her to keep moving forward. Traveling with only her older sister she hopes of finding refuge, but that all goes out the window as they both end up crossing over into one of the strongest packs' territory. Mia and her sister Elena think after everything, that this is the end, that their past had finally caught up to them.... But that's not the case as Mia lays eyes on a killer, an alpha. Yet he's not just any alpha, he's alpha Leandor, and he's Ruthless. Just Mia's luck.... They're mates. Excerpt from book: "Get up Mia. It's time to go." Leandor told me staring patiently for me to move. I brought my knees up to my chest and hugged them lightly. "Then go. No ones stopping you." I reminded him. He growled and went to grab me. I raised an eyebrow and somehow it stopped him. I don't know why but it did. Not only that but everyone seemed to stiffen as well. "Are you testing my patience?" He asked with a menacing undertone to his voice. "Well seeing as you'd fail any test I give you, then yes I'm testing your patience." I replied sarcastically. He growled at me and pulled me to my feet in one motion. I strained to keep my composure. Two angry wolves is something to reckon with especially one being an alpha. "Are you calling me stupid?" "Well I'm definitely not calling you smart, now am I?" I smirked crossing my arms. Cover by: SilverAmy Copyright 2014 Completed 2019

The novel depicts the plight of the French peasantry demoralized by the French aristocracy in the years leading up to the revolution, the corresponding brutality demonstrated by the revolutionaries toward the former aristocrats in the early years of the revolution, and many unflattering social parallels with life in London during the same time period. It follows the lives of several protagonists through these events. The most notable are Charles Darnay and Sydney Carton. Darnay is a former French aristocrat who falls victim to the indiscriminate wrath of the revolution despite his virtuous nature, and Carton is a dissipated English barrister who endeavors to redeem his ill-spent life out of his unrequited love for Darnay's wife.
