Where Green Doesn't Shine

In a world where your home defines your spirit, Jade Von Kire is about to discover that her roots run deeper-and darker-than she ever imagined.

Fifteen-year-old Jade and her brother Axle have spent their lives in the North, shifters bound to the form of the wolf. But the disappearance of their mother, the legendary "Emerald Princess," has left a hole in their lives that no amount of magic can fill.

Driven by rumors and a desperate need for the truth, Jade and her "Ride or Die Squad" embark on a perilous journey toward the prestigious Academy of Sky Changers. But they aren't just travelers; they are prey. A monstrous Direwolf-a relic of a forgotten age-is hunting them, and the shadows of the past are beginning to bleed into the present.

As an ancient goddess demands a blood debt and the secret of the Velithrae power unfolds, Jade must face a harrowing realization: finding her mother might mean losing herself. In the Land Der Verlorene, the sky is changing, and a war is coming that will require Jade to be more than just a wolf. She must become a legend.

Will Jade reclaim her royal heritage, or will the darkness of an ancient grudge swallow her whole?
