Aria grew up as the unwanted orphan of her pack, pitied by some and hated by most. Her parents were murdered by creatures only she could see, and ever since, whispers have followed her: cursed, weak, broken. On the night of her eighteenth birthday, when her wolf was meant to awaken, something else rose instead—an ancient mark burning into her skin. A mark not of wolves, but of the Forgotten Gods. Her Alpha recognized her as his fated mate… and rejected her in front of everyone. Banished and alone, Aria’s powers erupt, drawing hunters, rival packs, and a secret cult determined to finish what they started when they killed her family. But fate is never kind. A rival Alpha feels the mate bond with her, the gods whisper through her blood, and every choice pulls her closer to a destiny older than the moon itself. Loved by one, claimed by another, hunted by all— Aria must uncover the truth of her bloodline before the Forgotten Gods rise again… and consume her soul.
