A hundred miles away, Kai Thorne collapses on Blackstone Mountain, his body wracked by a curse that tears between man and beast. The Alpha of Alphas, ruler of the Lupine Clan, has lost half his memories to a hex cast centuries ago by the Silver Order’s founder. All he knows is the voice in his head, urgent and unyielding: Find Elena Voss. Protect her. He doesn’t know why this hunter’s name sears into his soul, why his wolf howls at the mention of her, or why the blood moon compels him to cross the deadly border between wolf and hunter territory. But when he finally meets her—her raven hair wild, her silver dagger drawn, her eyes blazing with the same conflict he sees in his own reflection—he knows one thing for certain: she’s his fate.
