When war destroys her pack, Esmerid, a thirty-eight-year-old lone she-wolf, watches her world collapse.
Captured by Khanut, the enemy Alpha, she discovers-horrified-that he is the mate chosen for her by fate.
Torn between hatred and an attraction she refuses to acknowledge, Esmerid unwillingly becomes the official Luna of a ruthless leader... while another woman already carries his heir.
Forced to raise the child of the rival she should despise, Esmerid finds herself trapped at the center of a dangerous game of power, secrets, and sacrifice-where the slightest emotion can be fatal.
In a kingdom where love is a weakness and loyalty a burden, how far will she go to protect her own heart?
