Seven years ago, the powerful Reed Bloodline was erased in a single night when Alpha King Rahl Draven ordered the destruction of Reed Hollow to secure his throne. The world believed every Reed had died in the flames, but one survivor remained—Xara Reed. Raised as a wolfless outcast and branded cursed by the Shadow Fang Pack, she spends years enduring rejection and humiliation until the day her dormant wolf awakens.
When the legendary Ash Wolf, Nyx, emerges, Xara discovers she is the last heir of an ancient royal bloodline whose existence was erased from history. At the same moment, fate reveals that her destined mate is none other than Rahl—the king responsible for destroying her family.
As civil war spreads across the Crimson Dominion and a ruthless commander plots to seize ultimate power, Xara must choose between revenge and the future of the realm. To save the kingdoms, she may have to stand beside the man she swore to kill.
