I loved it sooo much. Your writing is so beautiful honestly!!" (Reliverelove)

There is a hollow place where a bond should be. A silence where the chorus of the pack once sang. For eight years, Luin Sage has carried this emptiness within him, a living wound from the day he was torn from his home and his two fated mates. Exile has been a brittle peace, a fragile existence built in the wild with Jamal, another soul fractured by the pack's judgments. Their understanding is a quiet thing, woven in shared solitude and the language of unspoken pain. It is the only balm that has kept the memories at bay. But the past is a patient hunter. A violent attack, laced with a poison that speaks of intimate malice, shatters their seclusion.

And as a mysterious enemy circles, leaving cryptic warnings and a sense of dreadful familiarity, Luin is forced to confront the most terrifying question of all: Was he banished for being a monster...
