I wasn’t supposed to survive.Twenty-four years ago, my entire family was slaughtered in a coup that should have ended the Vermillion bloodline forever. But someone saved me. Hid me. Raised me as human in a world where I’ve never belonged.Now, the man who destroyed my family wants me dead.And the dangerously beautiful Lycan prince who just spilled coffee on my thesis? He knows exactly who I am and he’s not letting me go.Kael Rhettason says I’m his fated mate. That my violet eyes mark me as the lost princess of Oceania. That an ancient prophecy binds us together.He says I’m meant to rule.But reclaiming a stolen throne means war. It means facing the uncle who murdered everyone I should have loved. It means becoming the monster I’ve spent my whole life hiding.And it means trusting a man whose touch sets my soul on fire even though falling for him might destroy us both.My name is Annette Vermillion. And I’m done hiding.
