Cassia reigns as the Firewolf Pack's legendary War Champion until she willingly seals her primal wolf magic out of love for Kellan, accepting the vulnerable status of a wolfless mate. Her selfless sacrifice is answered with horrific malice when Kellan's scheming mistress Sabine poisons Cassia, inducing a violent miscarriage. Worse, Kellan believes Sabine's fabricated lies and orders Cassia publicly whipped at the execution post.
Enduring the lashes in bloody silence, Cassia breaks the ancient mystical seal binding her inner beast. The primordial war wolf awakens in apocalyptic fury, snapping the iron restraints like brittle twigs. Leaving her cowardly husband and his treacherous mistress kneeling in sheer terror, Cassia ascends the high throne, turning her back on the pack that betrayed her.
