For as long as can be remembered, there were five wolf packs existing together bounded by accord but divided by blood, territory and competition. Rhys Baxter, alpha of the stormhawl pack, never doubted the order of their world. He was raised to believe that strength and power keeps his people safe. His father’s reign has made the pack one of the most powerful in their dominion and Rhys intends on making it stronger. Then he meets Nyra Windsor, Nyra Windsor, a Silverpine moon keeper, a healer. She’s one of the only women that looks at him without fear and she refuses to give him any reason to believe she wants to be around him, her scent is irresistible, her moon mark answers his, their wolves have already chosen each other. Nyra and Rhys may have been bonded by the moon but it’s up to them to choose whether or not they will choose each other. Nyra hasn’t, but there’s a reason she’s rejecting their bond, a reason connected to the disappearance of her mother long before she could understand what happened, the history of the other packs and a secret rhys’ father had spent years hiding. As old partnerships begin to falter and someone operates from the shadows, rhys is forced to question everything he believed about the order of their world because the woman he was raised to not trust might end up being the one who is capable of showing him how to unite the world he is destined to rule. With his father doing everything to destroy her to protect the legacy, rhys must choose the kind of alpha he wants to become.
