Mara Voss — hunter, mid-20s, orphaned young when her brother was killed by an uncontrolled wolf. Trained by the Vigil since she was a teenager. Precise, guarded, doesn’t trust easily. • Kian Ashworth (or your call on the name) — alpha of the city’s largest pack, decades of keeping his people hidden and controlled. Wary of hunters for good reason, but sees the new threat as bigger than old grudges. • City: unnamed modern metropolis, rain-soaked, good for moody atmosphere — packs operating like families/gangs under the surface, the Vigil operating like a shadow agency.

When her older brother vanishes in the woods outside Emberfall, Sena Calloway refuses to accept the town’s explanation — that the forest simply “swallowed him,” the way it’s swallowed others before. Her search leads her straight into the secret world hiding in plain sight: a pack of werewolves bound by an ancient curse tied to the Ashgrove bloodline. Ronan Ashgrove is the pack’s heir, and the curse’s next victim. Every generation, the firstborn Ashgrove is forced into an early, violent shift they can’t control — one that escalates until it kills them, or someone else. He knows more about Sena’s brother than he’s willing to say, and Sena is the last person he should want. But the deeper Sena digs, the clearer it becomes: her family isn’t just tangled up in the Ashgrove curse by accident. Her ancestors were there the night the original blood-oath was broken. Caught between Ronan — dangerous, secretive, impossible to look away from — and Micah, the steady, human life she’s supposed to want, Sena has to decide how far she’ll go to save her brother, break a centuries-old curse, and survive falling for the wrong wolf. Bloodbound in Emberfall is a New Adult paranormal romance set in a fog-drenched Appalachian town where old debts don’t stay buried — and neither do the things in the woods.
