Fifty years after the world fell to the Lunar Scourge, only the strongest survived, wolves born from plague and moonfire.
Humans became myths whispered around campfires.
Until one walks into the wolves' dominion.
Lyra Hale knows better than to trust anyone.
Hunted, cunning, and alone, she scavenges through the ruins to save the last person she loves. But when she's caught during the werewolves' sacred Hunt, she's dragged before their heir, an Alpha raised to rule through dominance and blood.
Kael Varyn was forged by violence, trained to lead a kingdom that worships power.
Taking a human as his prize should have been simple.
But the woman who defies him carries a secret older than the Scourge itself, a pulse of moonlight in her veins.
As the pack's rituals turn to war and ancient creatures stir in the shadows, Lyra and Kael are bound by forces neither understands.
She must hide what she is.
He must decide what kind of ruler he will become.
Enemies by fate.
Allies by necessity.
And somewhere between the ashes and the moonlight, a bond powerful enough to end, or remake-the world.

Moonbound Oath
When the blood moon turns black, the ancient vow that has bound the wolves for centuries shatters-freeing the monsters they swore to keep locked away. Kael, heir to a crumbling Alpha line, is thrust into a war his pack isn't ready to fight. The Shade Wolves are hunting, his father is failing, and every eye looks to him for answers he doesn't have. But the only one who knows how to fight the shadows is the woman the pack cast out years ago. Lyra has lived her exile in silence, carrying the prophecy the others chose to bury. She swore never to bow to Kael again, never to trust the wolf who let the council tear her from his side. Yet the Oath's collapse has dragged them back together, their bond rekindled by blood, fire, and the kind of love that refuses to die quietly. Enemies circle. The darkness learns. And the prophecy whispers one brutal truth: Only a love stronger than blood can forge the chains to bind the night again.
