After five thousand years entombed in darkness, Rudra, the cursed Alpha of the lost werewolf bloodline, rises from his eternal slumber. Once a mighty king of Kaalkut - the Fort of Death, Rudra had been betrayed by the very world he sought to protect. Now awakened, his heart burns with vengeance, and his veins flow with destruction.
Kingdom after kingdom crumbles beneath his wrath, their walls drenched in blood and their rulers swallowed by shadows, until only one land remains untouched by the horrors of the supernatural: Amarvan, a realm of eternal greenery, peace, and life.
But destiny's cruel hand strikes when Rudra sets foot in Amarvan, prepared to conquer... and instead, he sees Princess Ishita.
In one heartbeat, everything changes.
Ishita's world shatters as she is pulled into the savage domain of werewolves, curses, and ancient blood feuds. Against all reason, she is revealed as Rudra's mate, an impossibility, for the werewolf race had been cursed centuries ago to live without soulmates. Why her? Why now?
As Ishita struggles with the brutal truth of Rudra's legacy, ancient enemies rise from the ashes of forgotten wars, some seeking vengeance, others carrying secrets that could destroy them both. The shadows of Kaalkut creep ever closer, threatening not only Amarvan but the fate of the entire world.
Will Ishita accept the Beast King of Kaalkut with a soul drowned in blood?
Or will destiny tear them apart before the final truth is revealed?
"After the guns and passion of Devraj × Indu, welcome to the fangs and fury of Rudra × Ishita."
