They thought they wiped them all out… but one survived. Amarys is a Nightshader—born of royal blood, gifted by the moon goddess, and marked by black blood. Once a proud people, the Nightshaders were nearly exterminated by the Council, feared for their power. Now, hunted and forced into hiding, Amarys is one of the last of her kind. Haunted by the past and driven by the hope of finding her missing mother and surviving kin, she hides in a remote pack of survivors, concealing her identity at all costs. But secrets never stay buried. When her true nature is exposed, she becomes the prey once again. Then comes the twist she never saw coming—her fated mate is a loyal wolf of the Council, one who believes in the very mission to destroy her kind. As betrayal, heartbreak, and war rage around her, Amarys must decide: can she rewrite destiny, or is the moon goddess wrong this time? With battles to fight, hearts to heal, and freedom to win, Amarys’ journey is one of love, loss, and reclaiming the future her people were denied.
