Eighteen-year-old Lyria Hale has spent her entire life as a quiet shadow within the powerful Bloodfang Pack, an orphaned, low-born werewolf with no voice and no place. But when the Moon Goddess reveals her fated mate, everything changes… and not for the better. Her destined mate is Alpha Kael Blackthorn, the ruthless, cold-hearted leader of her pack. Instead of claiming her, Kael publicly rejects her, choosing power over destiny and leaving her broken before the entire pack. Humiliated and heartbroken, Lyria flees into the cursed woods lands whispered to be haunted by rogues and death. But instead of dying, she is found by Riven Blackthorn, Kael’s long-banished brother, a fallen Alpha thought to be dead. Dark, scarred, and dangerous, Riven saves her… only to claim her for himself. At first, Lyria is his pawn, a way to wound his brother. Yet as she begins to see the man beneath the beast, something unexpected ignites between them. Riven’s touch awakens a power she never knew she possessed, a power tied to the Moon itself and a prophecy long forgotten. Now hunted by her past and torn between two brothers, Lyria must decide who she truly is: the broken girl who was rejected… or the wolf born to rewrite fate. As love and vengeance collide, she’ll rise from the ashes of betrayal to become more than anyone ever believed possible. She was once the rejected mate Now, she is the Alpha’s Queen.
