She was his mate. He threw her away like garbage. Now she's rising from the ashes-and they will burn. Raven Blackwood was born wolf-less, a defect in a world where wolves are everything. But she had love-a doting family, a loyal best friend, and a mate who promised her forever. Then her best friend stole her mate. Her pack turned against her. And the man who swore to love her rejected her publicly, banishing her from everything she'd ever known. Broken and alone, Raven flees into the wilderness, ready to die. Instead, she awakens the wolf that was always sleeping inside her-Ember, a powerful, ancient wolf with golden eyes and a fiery spirit. Now Raven must build a new life from the ashes of her old one. She finds refuge with a pack of outcasts and rogues, wolves who've been rejected by their own kind. And when they choose her as their Luna-the first woman to lead without an Alpha-she begins to discover the true depth of her power. But the Moon Goddess has more in store for Raven. A second chance mate waits for her-Kael, a powerful Alpha who's been mateless for twelve years and has sworn to worship his mate above all others. As Raven rises, her old pack watches in jealousy. Damon, her ex-mate, begins to regret his choice. Lila, her former best friend, trembles in fear. And Raven smiles. Because she's no longer the weak, wolf-less girl they discarded. She's the Luna who rose alone. And now, she will burn them all.
