Sera Maddox has one rule. Don’t get found. For three years she has kept it. Every full moon she walks into the forest alone, ties herself to a pine tree, and survives the night by herself. Her shift has been failing since she was nineteen. The pack she smiles at every day would strip her of everything if they knew. She has a plan for when it falls apart. She doesn’t have a plan for Damon Reeves. He’s the pack Beta. The man whose job is to report exactly what she is. One morning she finds a sprig of mordveil outside her door. No note. No threat. Just the one herb with one recorded use in the entire pack medical guide. He knows. And he hasn’t reported her. That’s not relief. That’s a problem she doesn’t know how to solve. When her supply line vanishes overnight and a frightened nineteen year old arrives hiding the same secret, Sera stops thinking about surviving. She starts thinking about fighting. Because buried in a two hundred year old archive is something that changes everything. The doctrine that has governed her pack for generations, that has destroyed lives and erased names, was never spiritual law. It was a cover up. Sera has spent three years being invisible. She’s done being small.
