Betrayed. Rejected. Broken. ​Lucia thought she had everything—a bright future and a fated mate she loved with all her heart. But her world shatters into dust when Axel commits the ultimate act of treason, brutally deceiving her and casting her aside for the scheming Susan. Left with nothing but the painful sting of a broken bond, Lucia is slated for ruin. ​But destiny has a far grander, sharper plan for a wolf with fire in her veins. ​Enter Dorian, the enigmatic and powerful royal alpha. Bound by a centuries-old royal contract, he and Lucia are thrust together, forced to marry within forty-eight hours. What begins as a cold alliance of convenience inside the high-stakes modern werewolf kingdom of Semeria quickly ignites into something far more dangerous. ​Dorian doesn't just offer Lucia a crown; he offers her the ultimate weapon: a stage for absolute retribution. ​As the royal archives open and high tribunals gather, Axel and Susan quickly realize they didn’t just reject a mate—they unleashed a monster. Watch Lucia transform from a broken outcast into a fierce, calculating force as she navigates royal intrigue, commands the high councils, and burns down everything her enemies built. ​She isn't looking for a second chance. She is looking for an empire. And alongside Dorian, she will take her rightful place on the supreme throne as the Sovereign Queen.
