The realm of Astara, located under the watchful light of twin moons, teeters on the edge of collapse. A long-held truce is enforced between rival clans: the Veylorin Coven in the Silverthorne woods, and the Fanged Ones in Blackthorne. But the uneasy peace is thrown into jeopardy when young witch, Selene, discovers a plot to annihilate the wolves from within her own ranks. Elda-the high priestess of the Veylorins-rules with an iron grip. Her magic is as twisted as it is powerful, a force she wields to dominate all who stand against her, breaking the spirits of her enemies with relentless, mind-bending tactics. Bound by loyalty, yet plagued with doubts, Selene forms a fragile, forbidden alliance with Callum, the enigmatic Alpha of the Fanged Ones. Raised to fear him, the two must trust each other long enough to discover a new source of magical energy that will allow her to defy the coven. Meanwhile, Caelyn, Callum's fierce and devoted betrothed, sees Selene as a threat to her Alpha and will stop at nothing to ensure the witch fails. Torn between loyalty to those in Silverthorne, and the brimming genocide of Blackthorne, Selene finds herself fighting not just for her own life, but for the very balance of power in Astara itself... -H.H.
