All her life she's been trained to take life, to purge their land of the cursed beasts who shift into wolves. She's ferocious and ruthless, a nightmare to all shifters. But inside that dark exterior, she's harbouring a darker secret, one even she is not aware of. Above all, she's sworn on her sacred sword never to trust anyone with her life ever again.
He's dark, dangerous, the kind of monster people fear. His very name ellists shivers of fear and few ever survive the night if they become his targets. His ancient heritage decrees that he protect his people the shifters against extinction. He's shrouded in mystery and darkness and his temper is dangerous. But throughout his entire life, he's searched relentlessly for his anima, his other half, but she's nowhere to be found, and after 18 centuries, he's given up. He's one of the last purebloods still standing and he's vowed to forget about his anima and fight the war. This final battle will decide who reins and who runs. His next target: the Queen herself.
In his two millennia, he'd never known anyone like her, the most dangerous fire and the most fragile flower.
In all her life, she'd never met anyone like him. Someone who can be her guardian angel or her worst nemesis, someone who can keep up with her, no matter how fast she is.
6 millennia ago, they might've been allies but now, they are on opposite sides of a war which threatens to destroy their very foundations.
They are both unwilling to concede and maybe,
it just wasn't meant to be.
