The Western Lands have lost their king. The Valdyr Pack, the most powerful wolf pack in the kingdom, has fallen in a single bloody night. The Alpha King and Luna are dead, their palace has been seized, and their only son, Prince Rhaedon Valdyr, has disappeared. Wounded and hunted by the very wolves who betrayed his family, Rhaedon escapes into the forbidden Dark Forest, carrying nothing but his mother's silver pendant and a burning promise of revenge. Miles away, Lilith is an ordinary village girl who knows nothing about royal bloodlines, betrayal, or the dangerous secrets hidden within the forest. Until fate brings the fallen prince to her doorstep. He is a hunted heir who wants revenge. She is the girl who has never needed a prince to save her. But when an ancient secret begins to awaken, Rhaedon and Lilith will discover that the fall of the Valdyr Pack was only the beginning—and that their destinies have been connected long before they ever met.
