To survive, she forms a dangerous alliance with Lucian Ravencroft, a feared Alpha Sovereign whose protection comes with teeth. As the truth unravels and a forbidden second mate bond begins to stir, Elena must choose: beg for the life that was stolen from her, or rise powerful enough to rewrite the laws that destroyed her.
