When Aria Delane, a quiet new girl from Portland, moves to Silverpine after her parents' divorce, she expects nothing but rain, pine trees, and boredom. Instead, she meets the Vale siblings - impossibly beautiful, secretive, and bound to the forest like it breathes through them.
Everyone warns Aria about Elias Vale, the brooding eldest brother who disappears for nights at a time. But it's Rowan Vale, his wild and magnetic sister, who captures her attention. Rowan is all laughter, danger, and warmth - but there's something ancient in her eyes, something that calls to Aria's soul.
After a near-fatal encounter in the woods, Aria uncovers the truth: the Vale family are descendants of Selene, the Moon Goddess, an ancient bloodline of werewolves tasked with protecting humankind from the vampire clans that stalk the Pacific Northwest. These clans are growing bolder, kidnapping and turning humans to strengthen their forces - preparing for war to claim the wolves' territory and wipe them out forever.
As Aria is drawn deeper into Rowan's world, she learns that their connection is no coincidence. Under Selene's divine design, some souls are born bound - reflections of one another, destined to find each other beneath the moon. But in a world divided by blood and darkness, love between a human and a wolf could spark the very war they were meant to prevent.
She was the villainess who died loving the wrong prince.
Now? She's got one rule: NO MORE ROYALS.
In her first life, she was hopelessly obsessed with Duncan Davenford, Crown Prince of Ashtor. She chased him, humiliated herself, and turned into the girl everyone loved to whisper about. The villainess who fell too hard and crashed even harder.
But fate gave her a second chance.
This time, she's staying far away from the palace, the crowns, the drama and especially from heartbreak. All she wants is a peaceful, prince-free life.
Too bad the universe is a troll.
Because now there's another Crown Prince. He's cold, quiet, and way too attractive for her own good. And worse? He doesn't look at her like she's the villain. He looks at her like she's the story.
And maybe this time, she is.
