As the heir to the Northern Dominion, Rowan Hale’s life is defined by rules, alliances, and blood oaths. But when a mortal girl crosses the boundary, the forbidden woods at Hollowridge University, everything begins to unravel. Shayla Aven isn’t just another student. She’s searching for her missing brother, a hunter last seen within werewolf territory in Hollowridge University. The deeper she digs, the closer she comes to the truth… and to Rowan. With his Luna Kayla preparing for their public bonding, and his Beta Elias warning against treason, Rowan is forced into a dangerous game of loyalty and desire. Because if Shayla’s mark is what he fears, then she’s the weapon that could end them all, and the key to his undoing.
