A crown built on lies. A bond forged in blood. A love that refuses to die.

Emerie Lozano swore she’d never return to the Lycan court—not after the night Boone Bell’s crest marked the assassins who hunted her across a rain-slick rooftop.

Not after the river swallowed her escape and the Selene Ledger burned its secrets into her skin. She left the realm, the man who was her fated mate, and the love that nearly killed her.

Now, summoned as a human-world negotiator to broker a fragile truce, Emerie finds herself face-to-face with the king she once loved…and cannot forgive. Boone’s winter-storm gaze hides the same dangerous pull between them—hot, unwanted, undeniable.

But beneath the political pageantry, an enemy is moving. Wolves are being freed from engineered bonds.

The Veil between worlds is thinning. And someone with Boone’s signature on a kill order wants her dead for real this time.

When a forged fate unravels, choice becomes the most dangerous magic of all. To stop a war, Emerie and Boone must decide: stand together by their own will… or let the realm burn.

Fans of fated mates, second-chance romance, and ruthless political intrigue will devour this high-stakes, emotionally charged werewolf romance filled with betrayal, dangerous alliances, and a love that fights back.
