Lyra's life isn't a fairy tale-it's a cautionary one. She works in a dive bar run by wolves, answers to an alpha with a temper, and has perfected the art of being "invisible and not worth killing." Then a royal nightcrawler walks in. Prince Laurent Castor: sharp suit, sharper teeth, and a smile that says he's either here to save her or ruin her life. Probably both. Now Lyra has a choice: stay caged and survive... or take his hand and find out what happens when you trade one monster for another. Spoiler: neither option ends with happily ever after.
