For three years, Wren Halloway has hidden in the one place on earth she should never be: the pack of the man who destroyed her family. Every day she swallows a bitter tonic to bury the scent of what she truly is. Then one vial shatters, and the most ruthless alpha in the north goes perfectly still. Kade Draven, the Butcher of the Northern Ridge, has just found his fated mate. She is the last living heir of the bloodline his father tried to erase. Now the Council wants her blood, an ancient crown wants her soul, and the only man who can keep her alive is the one she swore to destroy. But fate is only the beginning. When the Moon tears open the sky and a generation of children wakes to power no one understands, Wren and Kade must face one impossible question: what is a bond worth if you never chose it? And how far will they go to choose each other anyway? Fated mates. A secret royal bloodline. Enemies to lovers. And a love that has to survive the very magic that created it.
