Wren Calloway has spent twenty-one years invisible — a wolfless kitchen servant in the pack that buried her mother and never told her why. Then the Moon Goddess ties her to Ryder Morrow, heir to Silvercrest, in front of two hundred wolves. And he rejects her where she stands. The bond snaps. And something inside Wren wakes for the first time in her life — a voice that has been waiting twenty-one years, with one thing to say. They're going to kill you tonight. She runs north, across the river, into the territory of the one man no rejected omega should ever find: Kael Ravenscar, the Alpha King. A man whose last mate died while he sat forty miles away arguing about barley. A man whose wolf hasn't been still in five years. Because Wren isn't a kitchen girl. She's the last of a bloodline the Moon Council buried a century ago — and when they find out she's alive, they won't send a summons. They'll send chains. Her old mate wants her back. The King wants to keep her. And Wren wants the one thing neither of them is offering — to stand in front of the Council on her own two feet. He rejected her in front of the whole pack. He'll spend the rest of his life on his knees for it.
