*EDITED* The last thing Serenity expected when she moved to California was to be placed in the middle of a sex trafficking plan within the city. Forcing herself to learn what she can do to stop it from taking place she's thrown into a world she doesn't know anything about. One thing she expected even less was to be finding herself getting close to motorcycle rider Hunter of the Riders of Silence MC. No matter her efforts to stay away she can't seem to control how drawn she is to be with him. Being a part of the Riders of Silence has been all that Hunter has focused on since he was brought to the club. He never expected that a little Bird would come crashing into him, threatening the very control he has made for himself. The only thing he knows for sure is that he won't let her out of his sight until he knows why she takes his control with just one look from her, particularly since that little Bird seems to draw trouble anywhere she goes.

The kingdom of Bayfell requires that every male and female must marry after he or she turns sixteen. Of course, not everyone loves this law, but the kingdom's population is dwindling. The Claiming is a ceremony in which one young man writes down the name of three women of his choosing, listing most preferable to least. At the event, the announcements are made of whom each man chose to be his wife. The woman does not get a say in it whatsoever. She is stuck with whoever picks her. Isabella Reyes is unfortunately sixteen, and she is terrified. She grew up in the Facility, a home for orphans born to women of the lower class. Little does she know that the claim that is made for her hand will change everything. *Disclaimer: If you think this is a werewolf novel, you are very much wrong! I didn't realize the title's connection to werewolf lore until MONTHS after I was halfway into it. But please, give it a try if you were fooled! It's a mixture of fantasy, romance, and dystopian that has yet to disappoint!* Book cover credits to @Teddy_Ninja Thank you so much for the brilliance you have created for my story!
