Every twenty-one years, the Kingdom of Moriath calls upon its noble daughters to compete for the crown-and the heart-of the next king. Five brutal trials. One chosen Luna. A fate written in moonlight and blood.
Mercy Roaning has spent her whole life preparing for the Luna Trials-but not by choice. She's trained to fight, to lead, to serve. Not to bow. Not to charm. And definitely not to marry a prince she's never met. Her only solace lies in her quiet village library, teaching children and losing herself in forbidden stories of love and power she swears she doesn't believe in.
Until she meets him.
Prince Dame Nightengale-the kingdom's most desired heir, and its most dangerous secret. Stoic, sharp, and sinfully magnetic, he's everything Mercy despises about royalty... and everything her wolf seems to crave. Their connection is instant and undeniable-something ancient stirring beneath their skin every time they're near.
But when the moon chooses, it doesn't ask permission.
As Mercy is pulled deeper into the glittering nightmare of the palace and its deadly Trials, whispers begin to surface: of a white wolf not seen in two centuries, and a prophecy drenched in betrayal. And when the prince's touch sends her vision spiraling into glimpses of war and desire, Mercy must decide whether her bond to him is fate-or a trap that will destroy them both.
