10 Kapitel Laufend ErwachseneninhaltWhen Lucia Saintclair is married off to the alpha of the Northern Pack, she expects politics, not passion, and certainly not the man who laughs at the rules she was raised to obey.
***
Lucia Saintclair was born to serve the Accord. The daughter of a powerful Averon family and the last descendant of the Saintclair Hunters, she was raised to smile for the cameras, to speak with diplomacy, and to remember that peace depends on her silence. Her arranged marriage to Brandon Cross, the magnetic and unpredictable alpha of the North, is meant to prove that wolves and humans can finally coexist.
But the North is not what she was promised, and neither is he.
Crossmoor is a world of stone halls and restless forests, far from the order she has always known. Its people watch her with suspicion. Its alpha meets her grace with laughter, her restraint with provocation. Brandon Cross is everything Averon warned her about. Commanding, reckless, impossible to ignore. He treats their marriage like a game, laughs through meetings meant to contain him, and hides a loyalty fierce enough to break them both.
As unrest deepens and old hatreds return, Lucia and Brandon must decide what they are willing to protect: the world that shaped them, or the love that could undo it.
Contains mature themes, including violence and sexually explicit scenes. This story depicts power, loyalty and desire within a tense and divided world. Recommended for adult readers.
