Isabella surrenders her dangerous underground empire, the Shadow Circle, to live as an unassuming healer alongside the werewolf warrior she loves. For years, she concocts rare medicines to cure his battlefield injuries and accelerate his military ascent. The instant he secures promotion to the rank of General, he casts Isabella aside in front of the garrison, declaring an alliance with an influential commander's daughter.
Unfazed by his shameless betrayal, Isabella prepares to walk away until the high sovereign of the entire werewolf realm breaches the territory. Kneeling before the assembled court, the ruler reveals Isabella's royal bloodline as the missing wolf princess destined to rule the empire. Suddenly, her arrogant ex-mate finds himself facing execution for high treason against his rightful monarch.
