Belle and Alec's daughter Mave has a bright future ahead of her upon graduation. She's found her place in New Athens and is ready for anything. At least she thinks she is. Eight years prior, Belle and Alec made a decision that they thought would change the fate of their daughter, intending to do so for the best. But nothing can stop Mave from falling for the man she was always destined to be with, despite her parents'--and his parents'--endeavors. In the midst of the drama, Bayfell's people are still in oppression, and Mave has inherited her mother's worried heart for the innocent people there. But she wasn't raised a fighter--she was raised a dancer. How can she help anyone with her background?

One year has passed since Alec and Belle were separated from their family. Although the couple have made a home for themselves on an abandoned farm, Belle believes they no longer have a purpose in life except to see who outlives the other... that is, until Belle and Alec receive an unexpected surprise.

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!
