She crossed the forbidden border to save his pack.
She didn’t know it would cost her everything she’d spent her life protecting — including her heart.
Ysolde Carrick is the last of her bloodline. The last Veilwarden. The last woman alive who can read the ancient corruption spreading through the Scottish Highlands and seal it before it destroys everything in its path. For three months she tracked the Hollow Tide — an ancient paranormal force returning after four hundred years — and sent three letters to the Duskfang Alpha warning him of what was coming.
He never replied.
So she crossed the forbidden border herself, knowing full well what pack law said about her name. What she didn’t expect was for Breccan Faoláin, the iron-willed Alpha of the Duskfang pack, to be her fated mate.
In this steamy paranormal romance, the mate bond is not gentle. It is not a suggestion. It is the oldest force in the world, and it does not care about four-hundred-year-old blood oaths, forbidden bloodlines, or the wall Breccan has been building around himself since he watched desire destroy his father. He should have executed her on sight. Instead he finds himself reading her archive by lamplight at midnight, working beside her through a corruption-sickness outbreak that only her hands can treat, and losing a battle with the Primal Dark’s judgment that he never had any hope of winning.
But the forbidden mate bond is only the beginning of what stands between them.
The Blood Oath that condemns Ysolde’s bloodline was sworn on a lie — and that lie has been feeding the Hollow Tide for four centuries. Clearing her ancestor’s name means dismantling the very law Breccan has ruled by for ninety years. Accepting the fated mates bond means defying his pack, his Beta, and everything he swore he would never become. And the sealing rite that can stop the surge requires both a Veilwarden and a bonded Alpha — because a Veilwarden who attempts it alone doesn’t survive.
Ysolde already knew that when she crossed the border.
She came prepared to die. She didn’t come prepared for him.
