They called her the girl with no wolf. Lyra Moonveil was eighteen years old when she stood before her entire pack and failed to become what she was born to be. No shift. No wolf. No place in the only family she'd ever known. They stripped her of her name. They threw her out into the dark. They had no idea what they'd just released. Because Lyra isn't wolf-born. She never was. She is the last living daughter of the Moon Goddess — a woman who died protecting her from a monster wearing a crown. Now the necklace her grandmother gave her is glowing. Ancient spirits are kneeling at her feet, calling her Empress. And somewhere in a castle built on lies, the man who murdered her mother is about to learn that his daughter survived. The Alpha King wanted her dead once. Now he wants her back not out of love, but because she's the last key to a power that could unmake the sky. To save the world, Lyra must do what no empire has managed in a hundred years: unite four broken kingdoms, recover four ancient relics, and awaken a crown that hasn't been worn since before her mother's murder. To save herself, she'll have to face the truth that the monster she's meant to destroy shares her blood and decide whether becoming powerful enough to stop him means becoming something she'll no longer recognize. The moon is dying. The Shadow Devourer is waking. And somewhere between vengeance and mercy, a girl who was told she had no wolf is about to discover she was never meant to be one. She was always meant to be the moon itself. The throne of heaven has been empty for eighteen years. It's time to find out who was born to sit in it.
