She thought she knew what family was—until the ones she trusted most turned out to be strangers. Stolen as a child and raised under lies, she endured years of abuse at the hands of her so-called family, bound by magic to a man who was never hers. Now, running from the life that broke her, she stumbles into a world she never knew existed—a world of alphas, secrets, and power. But just as danger closes in, three brothers appear. Fierce, loyal, and unyielding, they claim her as their own. Protectors in every sense, they will not let anyone—not even fate itself—harm the sister they’ve been searching for. Caught between her past and a future she doesn’t yet understand, she must navigate betrayal, family, and the pull of a bond stronger than memory. One thing becomes clear: her brothers’ devotion will stop at nothing to keep her safe… even if it means standing between her and the one she was destined to love. A heart-pounding tale of overprotective brothers, forbidden bonds, and the fight for the sister who was stolen from them.
