Neysa has been sheltered her entire life, a descendant of an ancient bloodline, and protected within the confines of her pack's territory. But when a shattering truth about her origins is revealed, she seizes the opportunity to flee from her overbearing family's protection. For the first time, Neysa is alone and venturing into the unknown reaches of the mystical realm of Aestra on a journey of self-discovery. Lincoln was born into a bloodline cursed by a powerful celestial deity. Bound to the iron will of his overly ambitious father, Lincoln is tasked with uniting the packs of the High North by any means necessary so his father can claim the throne as the territories' king. But when Lincoln crosses paths with Neysa, he realises this beautiful outsider is his fated mate-and she hails from a pack considered sworn enemies of his own. Though drawn to each other by an inexplicable, primal force, Neysa and Lincoln's undeniable bond defies eons of hatred, violence, and hostility between their packs. As Lincoln grapples with his familial duties and the path of bloodshed laid before him, he must choose between fulfilling his destiny or protecting his newfound mate from the ambitions he once pledged his life to achieve. Can the two find a way to upend the prejudices and cycles of vengeance that have divided their packs for centuries? Or will the ghosts of the past and the hunger for power and domination sever what the fates have entwined? On this high-stakes journey of self-discovery, forbidden love, and shattering revelations, more than just their bond hangs in the balance - the fate of Aestra's realms remains eternally intertwined with Neysa and Lincoln's willingness to make the ultimate sacrifice.
