Instead, on the dawn of their sacred mating ceremony, Alpha Darius brutally rejects their fated bond before the assembled warriors, casting her aside in favor of a pampered rival.
Exiled and abandoned in the frozen woods, Raelin uncovers a dormant primordial strength humming beneath her skin. When Caelan Wolfe, the ruthless leader of the rival Nightborn pack, tracks her scent, he does not see a broken exile but an apex predator. Allying with Caelan, Raelin prepares to challenge Darius in an open territory duel to reclaim her pride and topple his realm.
