A soul-shattering bond. A lethal ancient debt. A love that defies the stars.
Lyra Dusk-Born has spent her life hiding from the shadows of her family’s past, but she cannot hide from the mark that has suddenly appeared on her skin. It is the sign of a legendary affliction, a beacon to every dark creature in the forest—and to the one man she was warned never to trust.
Killian Blackwood is a king without a throne, a wolf driven by a thirst for vengeance that has consumed him for a century. When he finds Lyra, he doesn’t see a woman; he sees the key to reclaiming his stolen crown. But as the High Coven closes in to claim the power thrumming in Lyra’s veins, Killian realizes that protecting his fated mate is more important than the kingdom he lost.
In a world where magic is a weapon and loyalty is a death sentence, two broken souls must decide if they will succumb to the darkness or burn bright enough to change their destiny forever.
Trope Summary: This intense story features fated mates, an exiled alpha hero, and a high-stakes race against an ancient coven.
