Iris Thorne is a biological impossibility. ​Born of a forbidden union between a Royal Vampire lineage and a high-ranking Wolf Alpha, Iris has spent seventeen years pretending to be an ordinary girl with nothing more than a sensitive set of ears and a habit of zoning out. Her only anchor is Leo Vane, a human who knows nothing of the supernatural war simmering beneath the surface of their quiet town. ​But secrets in the North Lodge don't stay buried. ​When a political power play by the ruthless Council exposes her existence, Iris is no longer a student-she is the "Exception," a target for every faction that fears her power. As her family's blood-soaked past is revealed and a lethal containment order is issued, Iris must decide: will she be the weapon they want her to be, or the monster they're afraid she'll become? ​In a world governed by ancient Treaties and cold "Parity," Iris is about to prove that some lines aren't meant to be crossed. They're meant to be burned down.

COMPLETED BOOK I was trained to be a weapon for the kingdom. I was forced into servitude to the King after my family was ripped from me. My new life was covered in the blood of my family...and now I had to protect the royal family who ordered my parents' death. They're all monsters, except for him...he was my charge and as much as I wanted to hate him, the prince was nothing like his vicious father. He was a warm light in my cold and dark world. I was supposed to be controlled, cold, calculating and deadly, but he made me crave freedom, warmth and all the things I thought died with my family. I no longer knew my path...but I knew it led to him. ****** Don't hesitate to let me know what you think of my book or if you see grammatical errors/plot holes! *16+ is recommended...sex is implied but not described (I came up with that little rhyme while I was brushing my teeth this morning!) and there are scenes of violence.
