The kingdom was saved by a secret. It might be destroyed by a destiny.
Eighteen years ago, Queen Raya and Consort Malik secured their throne by exposing the corruption of their forebears and fulfilling the legendary Split-Body prophecy. Now, the kingdom enjoys a fragile peace, but that stability hinges entirely on their heir, Prince Aelion.
Aelion is the Unsplit Moon: the first perfectly whole wolf, born with the power to stabilize the entire wolf lineage. But that power comes with an inescapable truth: Aelion must choose a mate to share his soul's essence, and that Core Bond is biologically irresistible-a magnetic pull that cannot be denied.
Into this vulnerable royal court steps Lysandra.
Lysandra is the granddaughter of the disgraced Elder Vesper, who sits plotting vengeance from his palace prison. Raised on a steady diet of hatred and political strategy, Lysandra's mission is simple: she must infiltrate the court, use her formidable beauty and intellect to become Aelion's chosen mate, accept the Unsplit Moon's power, and then destroy the Split-Body regime from the inside out.
As Aelion's unique wolf-sense begins to narrow his search for his destined partner, Lysandra executes her plan flawlessly, finding herself drawn into a deadly game of seduction. But the Core Bond is ancient, spiritual, and terrifyingly real. As she pushes closer to accepting the ultimate power and fulfilling her grandfather's vow, she must confront the possibility that the destiny she intends to sabotage might be the only true feeling she has ever known.
When fate demands a bond, can revenge sever the soul?
