Deep in the forbidden forest lies a legend. A castle and a creature. No one dares to explore anymore. Not since the demise of the outlying lands centuries ago. Legends have a way of telling the truth without telling the truth. This one, however, has left its mark on the world. A long and bloody mark.
Once, the land of Stonebrooke was vibrant and seductive. A land of beauty, where all men wanted to visit. But there was one who never left. Cursed by the ache of a broken heart, he tormented, and exiled himself into the deepest, darkest of places, the forbidden forest of Stonebrooke, but it still wasn't as dark as the hole in his heart.
For centuries, the darkness fed off the land, until it was no more. A lifeless forest, a decrepit castle, a broken man, came a curse so deep. A creature, a monster, heartless, and hungry.
Hysteria over the unknown has created a tumultuous place to live, inciting fear and panic, causing a young witch who wields mystical powers to come face to face with her destiny. Although wise, cunning, enigmatic, and harnesses the forces of nature and magic, her path is about to take an even darker turn.
But the moon's Goddess has a plan for them. Time will only mend a broken heart, but love will heal it completely. The love of a true mate.
Together, a witch and a werewolf bring an enchanting blend of mysticism, danger, and the eternal struggle between light and darkness. Within their tale lies a profound lesson about identity, power, and the unexplored depths of their own souls.

He finally released my legs, allowing me to slide down his body until my feet hit the floor, but that was as far as he let me go. Heat was radiating off him scorching me all the way down my spine as he held me tightly against him. His quick breaths were falling on the back of my neck with a tingling warmth that brought goosebumps to the surface of my skin. Placing one large hand on my shoulder, he wrapped my long brown hair around his other. Gently, he tugged on my dark mane, pulling my head to the side and exposing the tender column of my neck. Bringing his nose down to the crook there, he inhaled deeply, a rumbling "mmmm" escaping his lips.
My mouth went dry. "Are-" I swallowed. "Are you going to mark me?" I manage in a stuttered whisper.
