Elara Vale was born a low-ranking werewolf healer, useful only when her pack needed wounds closed and secrets kept buried. On a blood-soaked battlefield, she saves a dying stranger with forbidden moon-healing, only to discover the man she rescued is Lucian Veyr, the vampire king her pack was sent to kill. Her blood binds them. Now Elara is branded a traitor by the wolves, watched as a political weapon by the vampire court, and hunted by enemies who know more about her hidden bloodline than she does. Lucian is dangerous, cursed, and powerful enough to destroy everyone who touches her, but he may also be the only one willing to protect her freedom instead of owning it. To save her missing sister, survive the court, and break the ancient blood curse eating Lucian alive, Elara must turn a forbidden bond into her sharpest weapon. But the deeper she follows the truth, the clearer it becomes: Her blood did not choose the vampire king by accident.
