Kora the Cursed. The girl with a wolf as dark as night itself. She was never enough, not for her pack, not for her blood. And when her own mate chose her sister over her, the last piece of her shattered. Rejected. Abandoned. Unloved. Now, cast adrift on a journey to find herself, Kora must face a truth more dangerous than rejection: she carries a legacy bound in shadows, whispered in prophecy. She stumbles into the forbidden territory of the feared Duskwrath wolves. Wounded and alone, she expects death, until she meets Kade, the cold and ruthless Lycan Alpha haunted by dreams of a mysterious she-wolf. But Kade carries secrets of his own. His bloodline betrayed hers centuries ago, and the bond they now share may doom them both. As Kora’s Shadowborn powers awaken and pack enemies close in, the line between destiny and destruction blurs. Can a cursed bond survive the weight of betrayal, or will love be their undoing? Will she dare to believe in fated mates again? Or will the mysteries that follow her and the darkness within her, make her question if she can ever be loved… or if she was only ever meant to be feared?
