Aria has never truly belonged in the Night Fang Pack—believed to be a rogue’s daughter in a world that has never fully accepted her. Her only anchor was her bond with Jared, her mate-to-be. But on the night of her mating ceremony, everything came crashing down. Accused of betrayal, framed for murder, and stabbed in the heart by the man she loved, Aria is thrown into the dungeon, left with nothing but her will to survive. But Jared’s betrayal runs deeper than she ever imagined. Driven by a thirst for power, he murdered his own father to become alpha and get a short at the position of alpha King, believing the throne of the wolf kingdom lay open with no heir to claim it. By killing his father and framing Aria, he thought he had erased his last obstacle to absolute rule. He was wrong. Because the Alpha King did have an heir. And it is Aria herself. Dragged from captivity by Alpha Dante of Blood Moon—cold, commanding, and bound by his own secrets—Aria finds herself thrust into a dangerous game she never asked to play. Survival is only the beginning. Every step is touched by peril, every choice a gamble. Caught between Jared’s schemes, a stepsister who vowed to take everything from her, and the magnetic pull of Dante, Aria must find her strength, claim her legacy, and decide where her heart truly belongs. Once a pawn in someone else’s ruthless game, Aria now faces the fight of her life. Freedom, love, and the fate of the wolf throne hang in the balance—and failure is not an option.
