Moonlight spilled like silver fire as Kaelen Thorne felt his bones begin to break. Sixteen-year-old Kaelen Thorne has lived his entire life skirting the edge of Elderglen Forest, a place where myths are whispered like warnings and the moon is never trusted. When a forbidden Blood Moon rises, Kaelen's body shatters beneath its light-awakening a power thought lost to legend. He is Silverblood-heir to an ancient werewolf bloodline tied to royal oaths, forgotten wars, and a destiny the world has tried to bury. Taken by the brutal Nightclaw Clan, Kaelen must survive a world ruled by claw, hierarchy, and lunar law-where strength is earned through pain and mercy is a liability. As the Lunar Council brands him both savior and threat, a rogue alpha's betrayal ignites bloodshed that threatens to tear the realms apart. His only anchor is Lyra Vale, a sharp-tongued healer with secrets of her own-secrets that tie her to the Fae courts and a fate just as dangerous as Kaelen's. Between them forms a fragile bond built on trust, fear, and unspoken desire-one that may prove as lethal as any curse. As ancient powers stir and war looms beneath the rising moon, Kaelen must decide who he is willing to become. Because once the moon chooses you... there is no going back.
