When the two most powerful werewolf packs in Ravenhollow are pushed to the edge of all-out war, a dying Alpha makes a desperate and ruthless decree: his daughter, Nora Harte, will marry Caden Blackwell a rogue wolf with no pack, no loyalty, and a past soaked in blood and ash. The union is political. It is painful. And it is supposed to be loveless.But Ravenhollow is not the quiet mountain town outsiders believe it to be. Beneath its pine-scented streets and candlelit diners, something ancient and dark has been feeding for decades something that predates the rivalry between the Hartes and the Blackwells. Something that needs them divided to survive.Nora and Caden do not fall in love. They collide violently, reluctantly, dangerously two wolves who have spent their whole lives fighting everyone around them, suddenly forced to fight beside each other instead. The attraction between them is inconvenient, unwanted, and absolutely undeniable. There is no mate bond to explain it, no cosmic permission slip, no fate to blame. It is simply them raw, complicated, and impossible to ignore.
