He is the Soulless King, a Lycan monarch who feels no mate bond, ruling a kingdom of ice and shadow with cold, brutal logic. To King Jorvik, the fated bond is a weakness that shackles the will of lesser wolves, and his ancient curse is the source of his strength.​She is the Null, a weapon raised in secret with the power to sever the sacred bonds of others with a single touch. To the world, Elysia is an abomination, a heretic. To the conspirators who trained her, she is the key to unraveling the kingdom.​When she is captured and dragged to his frozen court, she expects a swift death. Instead, she is met with a chilling fascination. Jorvik, the king who feels nothing, is captivated by the one woman whose very existence is an antithesis to his kind. He doesn't kill her. He keeps her.​She is his prisoner, a living paradox in a world that fears her. He is her captor, a cold, calculating king determined to understand—and control—the source of her terrible power. Their battle of wills becomes a dangerous dance of psychological warfare in the gilded cage of his court, a slow burn of forbidden tension that neither of them is prepared for.​What happens when a man who cannot feel a bond collides with a woman who can destroy them? The spark that ignites between them is not fated. It is forbidden, impossible, and it will either be the kingdom's salvation or its ultimate ruin.
