Rain. Rights. A vow you can choose.Halcyon Ridge smells like storm-salt and second chances. Courier Rowan Ivers steps off the night ferry with a past that won’t stay filed. Kellan Noor, heir to the Asterfang pack, is fighting in plain sight—statutes, permits, and a harbor that refuses to be bought.When a corporation arrives with cameras and contracts, the Harbor Pact is offered: a lawful bond—inked, witnessed, never a claim on a body. But law and rumor share the same alleys. A legacy challenge flickers to life. Seals go missing. Drones hum over Umbra Docks. To stand their ground, Rowan must sever what was taken from him, and together they must craft a Choice Rite that says consent out loud.This is a slow-burn, city-port shifter romance about finding belonging without surrendering agency—where chemistry grows from competence, community, and the decision to re-choose, day after day.You’ll love if you’re looking for:Wolf shifter BxB with fated-choice (not forced destiny)Consent-forward romance, competence attraction, found familyLegal/political intrigue (council hearings, chain-of-custody stakes)Lantern-lit harbor noir: rain, string lights, dockside marketsA satisfying end with a clear path to the next treatyOpen the sample and step onto Lantern Row—where vows are chosen, not chained.
