Raised deep in the shadows of the Louisiana bayou, Rowan Thorne was never meant to be found.
Born of a vanished bloodline, trained by a rogue mother with secrets stitched into her scars, Rowan has lived her life in the wild-hidden from the packs, untouched by their politics, and free in a way most wolves only dream of.
Until the day everything burns.
Now hunted, captured, and torn from the only world she's ever known, Rowan finds herself in the court of the powerful-and dangerously unmated-Werewolf King. Talon Ashbourne was raised to rule, bred for war, and promised a fated mate from the bloodline of the Starlight Pack.
He just never expected her to fight him every step of the way.
The bond between them is undeniable. The pull is primal. But love was never part of the prophecy.
And Rowan?
She didn't come to be queen.
She came to survive.
In a kingdom built on blood, loyalty, and power, one rogue wolf may be the only thing standing between peace... and total collapse.
