In Veyrith, rogues are feared as mindless beasts and hunted by the crown. Nineteen-year-old orphan Lyra Vale has spent her life trying to stay unnoticed until an injured rogue bows before her instead of attacking. Lyra discovers she can hear rogues, understand them, and command them. Her gift draws the attention of Kael Draven, a twenty-two-year-old royal hunter commander sent to capture her. But as they uncover the kingdom’s buried history, Lyra learns that rogues are not the monsters she was taught to fear. Her power comes from the First Wolves, an ancient bloodline the royal family tried to erase. To free the rogues, she must face the crown and decide what kind of future should replace its rule. Yet something beyond the northern mountains has noticed her awakening.
