I didn't buy you to be my wife, Zora. I bought you to be my apocalypse." Twenty-one years. That’s how long I was the "Dormant Disgrace" of the Vane bloodline. In a city of wolves, I was a sheep. Until my father sold me to the most ruthless man in Aethelgard to pay off a corporate debt. Dante Thorne is a monster in a three-piece suit. He’s the Butcher. The Void Alpha. And he’s the only one who knows my secret: I’m not a wolf. I’m a Kingslayer. Every time Dante touches me, I get stronger. And every time I get stronger, he gets closer to death. Our bond is a countdown clock, and the High Council is coming to collect. My father betrayed me. My mate is dying because of me. And my mother? She’s the one holding the gun. He bought me for ten billion. But the cost of my awakening might be the end of the world.

Rejected by her fated mate. Exiled by her own blood. Left to die in the freezing mud. Elara Vance was a "wolf-less" omega, a stain on the Silver Moon Pack. But when she stumbles into the forbidden Black Forest, she doesn't find death. She finds him—Malakai Valerius, the Lycan King. He is a monster of legend, a man who rules with iron and shadow. He doesn't just want to save her; he wants to claim her. As a ancient silver power awakens in Elara’s veins, the pack that threw her away comes crawling back. But the King doesn't share. And the Queen? She’s ready to watch them burn.
