In my entire life, the Silverwood pack treated me as a defective outcast. A useless, scentless human-pretender destined for a quiet exile. But on the eve of my twenty-first birthday, as the pack vorbereed to cast me out into the brutal northern winter, the double doors of our hall opened.
Alpha Kael Ravencrest. The Shadow of the North. A cold, ruthless king of beasts entered, he was never supposed to look twice at an Omega like me.
But when his amber eyes lock onto mine, the impossible happens. The air ignites. The mate bond snaps. And beneath my collarbone, a blinding silver mark burns itself into my flesh,the ancient, long-forgotten crest of the lost werewolf royalty.
Suddenly, I am no longer a worthless runt. I am the key to a twenty-year-old conspiracy.
Kael claims me as his, shielding me from the enemies who murdered my family and stole my birthright. But as the seal on my dormant magic begins to crack, a terrifying prophecy comes to light: my heart is the source of the Moon Goddess's power, keeping the entire werewolf race alive.
And someone is coming to cut it out.
To save my people, I must learn to rule. To save me, Kael must defy the very fate he has spent his life fighting. But in a kingdom built on lies, the deadliest betrayal comes from those we trust the most... and my last heartbeat might be the price of our survival
