She was exiled to die. Chloe Moonwhisper gave her pack years of loyalty. They repaid her by cutting the wolf out of her and casting her into the snow. She should have died there. Instead, a King found her, one bound by a curse three centuries old, one that has been quietly killing his bloodline for generations. He needs something only she can give him. She needs somewhere to survive. What starts as a bargain becomes something neither of them can stop. But the Shadow Court is not the safe place it looks like from the outside. Secrets move faster than loyalty inside those walls, and not everyone who smiles at Chloe wants her to live long enough to matter. And breaking one curse was never going to be the end of it. Two more kings, each carrying a piece of the same ancient magic, are waiting to learn what Chloe can do, one whose curse turns him violent, and one whose court hides its rot behind good manners. She needs what they know as much as they need what she carries. None of it comes free. Some curses don't just take. They choose who's next, and now they're choosing her too. A dark fantasy romance about survival, obsession, and what it costs to be someone's only hope.
