Humans were never meant to become Alpha Queens. So when Princess Elena Ashford is forced into a political marriage with the ruthless Alpha King Kael Draven, she expects hatred...not humiliation. On their wedding day, the Moon Goddess publicly declares that she is not his fated mate. The pack demands her execution. Then an ancient mark burns onto Elena's skin, and the Palace Oracle delivers a chilling prophecy: "If the human queen dies...the Alpha King dies with her." Now trapped in a kingdom that wants her dead, Elena must survive jealous rivals, deadly assassins, and a royal court built on centuries of lies. But the deeper she digs into the palace's darkest secrets, the more terrifying the truth becomes. Every Alpha Queen murdered over the last thousand years had her face. Someone has been waiting for Elena to return. And this time, they will do anything to make sure the Human Bride never becomes Queen.
