Niemand überlebt es, vom Ersten Esper auserwählt zu werden. Seit fünfzig Jahren ist Caspian unter der am stärksten gesicherten militärischen Einrichtung der Nation versiegelt. Der erste Esper der Welt. Die mächtigste Waffe, die jemals erschaffen wurde. Das Monster, das die Geschichte sich weigerte zu vergessen. Dann erwacht er. In einem Raum voller Soldaten, Wissenschaftler und der stärksten Guides des Landes ignoriert Caspian jeden Einzelnen von ihnen. Er geht geradewegs auf Julian zu. Ein ruhiger Guide der Klasse B mit einem gewöhnlichen Leben, einem gewöhnlichen Auftrag und keinerlei Ahnung, warum der gefährlichste Mann der Welt ausgerechnet ihn auserwählt hat. „Er ist mein Guide.“ Vier Worte genügen, um eine ganze Nation ins Chaos zu stürzen. Denn der Erste Esper hat noch nie zuvor einen Guide auserwählt. Nun wird Julian dazu verpflichtet, Caspian unter Kontrolle zu halten, während die Regierung seine Hinrichtung vorbereitet. Doch je näher Julian dem Mann kommt, den alle ein Monster nennen, desto mehr beginnt er, die Wahrheit zu erkennen. Caspian ist nicht gefühllos. Er ist ein Mann, der fünfzig Jahre lang allein gewesen ist. Und jetzt, da er seinen Guide gefunden hat, weigert er sich, ihn wieder gehen zu lassen. Doch Caspians Macht ist stark genug, Julian zu zerstören. Und wenn die Regierung herausfindet, was ihre Verbindung wirklich bedeutet, wird keiner von ihnen überleben. Manche Verbindungen werden gewählt. Manche sind vorherbestimmt. Und manche sind gefährlich genug, die Welt zu zerstören.

On the night Lyra loses everything, she makes one catastrophic mistake… She falls into the arms of the one man she should never touch— Alpha Kael Rhelor. Her mate’s father. Her Alpha. The most feared man in all wolf territories. It’s supposed to be one night. One drunken, desperate escape from the pain of being rejected by her fated mate and betrayed by the best friend who stole him. But the moment Kael touches her, something ancient wakes beneath Lyra’s skin… and the half-medallion hanging on his neck blazes to life, glowing for the first time in decades. Lyra isn’t an ordinary omega. Her bloodline should not exist. And when she steals the medallion and flees the pack in terror, she takes more than Kael’s relic. She takes his heir. Now Kael is hunting her— not for revenge, not for the child she hides, but because the night they shared has triggered a prophecy powerful enough to shatter the entire werewolf world. A prophecy that says: Only the woman who awakens the medallion can unite the territories… or destroy them. And she belongs to the Alpha who claims her with his heart—not his mark. Lyra just wants to survive. Kael wants answers. Darius, the rogue Alpha who murdered her bloodline, wants her dead. And Aiden—the mate who rejected her—wants her back. When fate, desire, power, and vengeance collide, Lyra will have to choose between the mate who broke her… and the ruthless Alpha who can burn kingdoms for her. One secret child. Two Alpha rivals. One prophecy. And a power that will either crown her… or consume her. This is not the story of an omega who runs. This is the rise of a woman the world was never meant to survive.

Elinora Vale entered Nocturne Hollow as a wolfless nobody; an unwanted girl offered as tribute to the Alpha’s court, meant only to serve…and eventually die. But the moment Alpha Riven Drayke touches her, a silver flame blazes across his chest, the forbidden mating mark he was never supposed to possess. In Nocturne Hollow, mates are not a blessing. They are a death sentence. Because the last Mateless Alpha who accepted his fated mate lost control… …and turned an entire pack into ash. Now the Elders demand Elinora’s execution. Riven is ordered to reject her or die a slow, agonizing death as the curse consumes him. But Elinora is not who she appears to be. Her wolf didn’t die at birth. It was locked away, sealed by ancient magic. And the power inside her is older, darker, and deadlier than any Alpha alive. She isn’t just a tribute. She is the last daughter of the Nightblood line. The heir to a forgotten dynasty. The girl Riven is destined to kill… …is the same girl who was born to destroy him. As the forbidden bond burns hotter, enemies close in: a jealous chosen mate promising blood, a blind Seer whispering doom, and a prophecy foretelling that the Mateless Alpha will either kneel before his fated mate…or be consumed by her. Caught between vengeance and fate, Elinora must decide: Either kill the Alpha who slaughtered her family or save the only man who has ever been marked as hers. One choice will doom the Hollow. The other will tear her soul apart. “I wasn’t your curse, Riven. I was your prophecy.”
