Darbie Hale has spent five years apologizing for existing. Adopted out of pity—or so she was told—she has spent her life as an unpaid maid wearing the title of "sister," hiding a wolf so powerful she's terrified of what will happen if anyone sees it. Staying invisible was the only way to survive Academy of The Goldens, where the three most powerful heirs in the territory could destroy her with a single word. But staying invisible ends the night a rogue wolf kneels before her in the middle of the academy courtyard. Now all three Alphas know part of her secret, and each of them wants something different—her silence, her obedience, or her trust. What none of them know is that Darbie isn't just hiding a powerful wolf. She's the last living heir of the bloodline the Three Houses were created to wipe out. The laws that bind her, the secrets they keep, and the lies they've believed were never really about controlling one girl. They were about making sure the Progenitor Queen never awakened. Too late.
