Now the entire werewolf kingdom wants her silenced.The night Seraphina Vale discovered her mate's betrayal, she was saving the life of his brother's wife.For three years, Seraphina had stood beside Lucien Blackthorne, the most feared Alpha in the kingdom, believing their sacred bond meant something more than a convenient alliance.She was wrong.Lucien brought another woman into his home, announced Celeste Ashbourne as his future Luna, and ordered Seraphina to accept her humiliation in silence.He expected her to break.Instead, she disappeared.Six months later, Seraphina is living under a different identity in New Avalon, treating patients at an underground clinic and trying to forget the man who shattered her trust. She has no intention of returning to the pack that betrayed her, until a mysterious patient arrives with silver poisoning, impossible wounds, and a name erased from every official record.Before sunrise, the patient is dead.His final words are meant for her."Your mate lied."Those three words unravel everything Seraphina believes about Lucien, their bond, and the kingdom she left behind.A trail of unexplained deaths leads her to missing medical files, rejected mates who vanished without a trace, and an illegal procedure capable of severing the sacred bond between werewolves.The evidence points towards Lucien Blackthorne.But when Seraphina returns to investigate, she discovers that his empire is crumbling. His chosen Luna is hiding a dangerous secret, rival Alphas are preparing for war, and someone inside the royal council is determined to bury the truth.Lucien wants Seraphina back.She wants answers.Neither is prepared for what happens when their bond begins behaving in ways no living werewolf can explain.Then Seraphina discovers a classified file dated twenty-two years before her birth. Inside is a photograph of a woman who looks exactly like her—and evidence that her bloodline was supposedly exterminated decades ago.Seraphina was never meant to become a Luna.She was never meant to survive.And Lucien may have known why from the beginning.As the investigation exposes a conspiracy built on forged records, forbidden experiments, and carefully arranged deaths, Seraphina must decide whether to expose the truth or protect the man whose betrayal still haunts her.Then the final piece of evidence reveals the most dangerous lie of all.Lucien was never supposed to be her destined mate.Someone altered the records.Someone murdered to protect the deception.And someone has already marked Seraphina as the next victim.In a kingdom where blood determines power and destiny can be manipulated, a rejected doctor may be the only person capable of bringing an empire to its knees.Lucien thought rejecting her would make her powerless.He forgot that the woman he discarded might be the one person capable of destroying everything he built.Some bonds are written in blood. Others are built on lies.

THE LAST ATTENDANCE Every school has an attendance register. This one records students who haven't arrived yet.At Blackthorn Academy, nobody answers when the attendance bell rings at 6:13 p.m.Not anymore.Fifteen years ago, Blackthorn was the most prestigious school in Oarke, a quiet town where reputation mattered more than truth. Its students came from powerful families, its teachers guarded their secrets, and its beautiful buildings concealed a history nobody dared discuss.Then a student disappeared.There were no witnesses willing to speak, no convincing explanation, and no body. Within months, Blackthorn closed its doors. The student's name vanished from school records, her photographs became impossible to find, and eventually, even the people who had known her began insisting she had never existed.Everyone forgot her.Everyone except Nia Marshal, a seventeen-year-old girl who is about to discover that forgetting and remembering can be equally dangerous.After her mother's death, Nia returns to Oarke to settle the affairs of the only parent she has ever known. She expects grief, unanswered questions, and an empty house filled with memories. She doesn't expect to find a locked drawer containing an old photograph, a strange handwritten warning, and a green attendance register belonging to Blackthorn Academy.The photograph is dated 2009In the back row stands a girl with Nia's eyes, her crooked smile, and the same small scar above her left eyebrow.On the back, someone has written two words.GIA MARSHALNia knows that name.She has heard it whispered in her childhood, usually when her mother thought she was asleep. Whenever Nia asked who Gia was, her mother became frightened and insisted that Nia had never had a sister.Now, staring at the photograph, Nia begins to wonder what else her mother lied about.The register provides her first answer.On a page dated 2009, Gia's name appears among the students of Blackthorn Academy. Beside it is a mark indicating that she was present.But the school had already been hiding its darkest secrets for years.And Gia's entry isn't the strangest thing in the book.At exactly 6:13 p.m., the abandoned school's bell rings. That same evening, fresh ink begins spreading across the register, forming a name Nia recognises immediately.Her own.Beside it is tomorrow's date.The final word appears slowly.ABSENT.Then a message arrives from an unknown number."Now you understand why your mother kept the drawer locked."Nia should run. Every sensible instinct tells her to leave Oarke, forget the photograph, and never return to Blackthorn. But the possibility that she once had a sister and that someone has spent years erasing her makes walking away impossible.Determined to uncover the truth, Nia begins investigating the abandoned school. She discovers sealed archives, altered student records, missing photographs, and former students who become strangely silent whenever she mentions Gia.Some claim the bell is a warning.Others insist it is a superstition invented to frighten children.One former teacher refuses to speak about the register at all. Instead, he tells Nia that the most dangerous person in Oarke is not the one who wants her to stop investigating.It is the person who wants her to continue.With the help of Clara Vale, a sharp-witted young woman with her own connection to Blackthorn, Nia begins piecing together a mystery that reaches far beyond a missing student. Each discovery exposes another contradiction. Each witness remembers a different version of events. And every time Nia believes she is getting closer to the truth, someone destroys the evidence she needs.Then the first betrayal comes from someone she trusts.Nia discovers that the disappearances may not be the work of an unexplained force alone. Someone has been manipulating the school's records, controlling what the town remembers, and using fear to protect a secret powerful enough to ruin several lives.But who?Why was Gia erased?Why did Nia's mother spend seventeen years hiding the truth from her own daughter?And why does the register continue to change even when nobody is near it?As Nia investigates the final year of Blackthorn Academy, she uncovers a connection between her family and the school's closure. The truth forces her to question everything she believes about her childhood, her mother, and the sister whose existence she can barely remember.Meanwhile, the date beside Nia's name draws closer.The bell rings again.Another name appears.And someone who has been helping Nia all along begins acting as though they have never met.At Blackthorn, memories can be altered, records can be destroyed, and the truth can disappear beneath a single line of ink. Yet some things refuse to stay buried.Nia must uncover the origin of the register, expose the person manipulating its entries, and discover what really happened to Gia before her own name is crossed
