Larkin Vale has spent her entire life knowing what she is.A wolf.At least, that's what everyone in Ashwood Hollow believes.Until the night of the Hallowmoon Rite.When every wolf her age shifts for the first time, Larkin doesn't.Instead, an ancient mark appears on her skin—and with it comes a power she doesn't understand, a fire she can't control, and a truth that could change everything she thought she knew about herself.Now the people she grew up with are afraid of her.And the one person standing between her and the Wolf Council's judgment is the last person she ever expected.Knox Ravenscroft.Heir to the Alpha throne. Cold, arrogant, infuriating—and the wolf Larkin has spent years trying to stay away from.But when Knox is ordered to watch over her, being near him becomes unavoidable.So does the pull between them.Because there is something neither of them can explain.Something ancient.Something that feels dangerously like fate.As strange visions begin to haunt Larkin and enemies from a forgotten war emerge from the shadows, she is forced to question everything she has ever been taught about wolves, dragons, and the history of Ashwood Hollow.Then she discovers that she may not be the only one who wants answers.A mysterious dragon prince believes he knows where she truly belongs.Knox believes he should protect her, even if it means turning against his own people.And Larkin is caught between a destiny she never asked for and feelings she never saw coming.But the closer she gets to the truth, the more dangerous her existence becomes.Because some secrets were buried for a reason.And some bonds were never meant to be broken.She thought discovering what she was would be the end of her old life.She was wrong.It was only the beginning.
