Natalia Blackwood has spent her life running-from her power, from a prophecy, from a bond that terrifies her. But the land has other plans.
When ancient runes ignite at her touch and storms answer her presence, hiding is no longer an option. Her grandmother arrives with a buried truth: Natalia's magic is tied to a prophecy that shattered covens, corrupted packs, and led to her parents' deaths-a prophecy now twisted to justify her execution.
Forced to return to her former pack, Natalia discovers a bond with the land itself. As Ironwood fractures and old enemies hunt her, she uncovers her true father's dark experiments-and her own terrifying power to command all beings, wolf, witch, and hybrid alike.
She could destroy her enemies. Instead, she chooses mercy.
But mercy has a cost. When the coven comes for her with lethal force, Natalia must embrace every part of herself-wolf, witch, and something far older-to survive. The prophecy was never meant to predict her future, but to warn against power without heart.
With her mate at her side, Natalia stands between worlds and rewrites their laws. Bloodlines no longer decide worth. Power no longer grants dominion.
Natalia Blackwood was never meant to be a destroyer.
She was meant to be the line no one could cross.
