In the matriarchal werewolf empire of Lunaris, power is inherited through dominance, lineage, and the Moon's favor.
After the High Queen's death, the throne fractures between two equal Alphas:
Queen Aelyra Stormfang pure-blooded royalty, raised to rule, sharpened by tradition and control.
Queen Vaelis Nightclaw a war born Alpha, intersex, forged by the battlefield and blessed and cursed by a dual lunar nature the old laws never accounted for.
Vaelis's existence challenges the empire's rigid succession doctrines. Aelyra's claim challenges Vaelis's right to rule.
To prevent civil war, the Moon Council issues an unprecedented decree:
Two Queens. One Crown. One Bond.
Forced into a political mating neither desires, they must share power, territory, and a bed, under the watchful eyes of a court hungry for failure.
Neither submits.
Neither bends.
And as the bond deepens, rivalry turns to respect, respect to desire, and desire to something far more dangerous.
Because in Lunaris, the Moon does not choose lightly.
