THE GREY AND THE GLOWShe was the twelfth — and no one had ever told her.The ceremony that should have named Sheprina among the twelve marked ones of her clan was supposed to happen six days after the attack. It never came. The wolves saw to that. So when a wolf pulls her from a drowning river and refuses to eat her, she has no idea what she actually is — only that eleven others like her are already gone, taken by a queen who believes their glowing hearts can make her radiant too.Corshane was ordered to hunt sheep like her — pressured, worked on, nearly talked into believing it was right, the way the rest of his pack had already let themselves be talked into it. He refused instead. Exiled for it, he has nothing left to lose — until a broken, glowing stranger gives him something to fight for instead of just something to survive.It takes a chance meeting with an ancient Guardian, keeper of a prophecy older than either of them, to tell Sheprina the truth about who she is. She doesn't believe it. Not until a dream shows her exactly what — or who — has been driving the slaughter all along.She doesn't feel ready. Corshane doesn't ask her to be. He just tells her she won't be doing this alone.The queen they're up against isn't ruling alone, either. Something moves beside her throne, magnetic and unquestioned, and it has been shaping her hunger far longer than she knows.Together they gather every clan still willing to stand and go to war on ground already broken by everything they've lost. Tradition says none of it should work. No sacred ground. No completed rite. Just a refusal to 0let fear make the choice for them — and they discover the hard way, that it was never about the ground at all.Some things can't be stolen. They can only be grown.
