Luna has seen what her father does to daughters who awaken Silver Wolf power: he strips it away and hands it to a son. Her eldest sister is proof, stripped and erased overnight, while their brother receives the credit. When Luna's own power surfaces, she doesn't wait to become the next sacrifice. She runs straight to Arthur—her father's fiercest rival—and offers him a family secret in exchange for a public marriage that will buy her protection.
What she doesn't negotiate for is the fated bond mark that appears on both their wrists on their wedding night. Luna demands an oath: no permanent marking. Arthur gives it. What follows is a marriage of calculated alliance slowly warped by something neither of them planned—while Luna builds a sanctuary for other stolen women and hunts down the evidence to end her father's decades of theft.
