Eliana has always been alone, abandoned at sixteen, hunted for her bloodline, and feared for the power she can't control. A hybrid born of wolf and vampire, she survives by killing the creatures who prey on humans in the dark.
But when an elite team of werewolf warriors brings her to the royal palace, everything changes.
Inside its golden halls she finds a world she never knew existed packs, bonds, traditions, and a community that doesn't know what to make of her. Especially their Alpha, Darius Hale, a cold, impossibly strong leader who watches her like she's the key to a war he can't win.
He doesn't want her there.
She doesn't want to stay.
But the danger surrounding them doesn't care.
As ancient vampire assassins rise, truths unravel, and forbidden instincts awaken, Eliana must confront the past she never knew... and a future tied to a man she refuses to belong to.
But destiny doesn't ask permission.
And neither do monsters.
A gripping supernatural romance filled with danger, heat, and a heroine who refuses to kneel for anyone.
Since the age of sixteen, Novalene and her vibrant, witty best friend Noah have been inseparable. From high school hallways to late-night diner talks, their bond only deepens when they move in together just before college. While Novalene hones her eye for beauty through Photography and Small Business, Noah follows his culinary dreams to become a Chef.
Together, they navigate the highs and lows of young adulthood, graduating side by side with big ambitions and even bigger hearts. But post-grad life isn't what they expected. When they set off on a journey-part road trip, part self-discovery-their friendship will be tested, secrets will surface, and choices will shape the rest of their lives.
Will chasing their dreams bring fulfillment-or will they look back with longing and regret?
