They call him the Beast of Ash Prison. The immortal Lycan king. The butcher of kingdoms. The monster who burned her family alive. When Selene offers herself as a political prisoner to save her younger brother, she expects chains, torture, and death. Instead, the prison bows to her. The walls whisper her name. The dead obey her footsteps. And the ruthless king who should hate her looks at her like he’s already ruined himself for her once before. Kael Draven has spent centuries ruling the deadliest prison in the realm, hiding a secret capable of destroying every wolf kingdom. Selene is that secret. She came for revenge. He was never supposed to touch her. And neither of them expected the mate bond to awaken something ancient buried beneath the prison. Something hungry. Now the goddess sleeping beneath Ash Prison is waking and she wants her body back. In a kingdom built on betrayal, forgiveness may be the most dangerous thing of all.
