In a kingdom forged by wolves and ruled by bloodlines, fate is the cruelest curse of all.
Elaria of House Thalorwyn was born to serve the Council of the Seven-an ancient alliance of shifter royalty that once ended centuries of war. Raised behind gilded walls, trained in diplomacy and duty, she was prepared for an arranged marriage to secure peace. Not betrayal. Not bloodshed.
When an assassination attempt leaves her presumed dead, Elaria flees into the wilds-and straight into the territory of Caelan, a reclusive woodsman with secrets of his own. He's gruff, infuriating, and hates royalty with passion.
And he just happens to be her fated mate.
But fate has no place in a world ruled by politics, broken alliances, and centuries-old grudges. As the Council tightens its grip and villages burn, Elaria must choose: return to the system that betrayed her, or rise with the outcasts and fight for the kingdom buried beneath the lies.
Wolves will howl. Blood will spill. And the truth will rise from ashes.
