Sarai Crowne was born to lead, not to beg for love. As the firstborn daughter of a powerful bloodline, she enters Silver Crest with duty on her shoulders and hope in her heart, only to be rejected, dishonored, and marked by a bond that was never truly hers. When King Callen Blackthorne steps into her path, everything Sarai thought she understood about love, loyalty, and destiny begins to change. He is powerful, controlled, and impossible to ignore — but the mark she carries stands between them, blocking the truth their wolves already know. As enemies move in the shadows and old bloodlines rise with dangerous secrets, Sarai must decide whether she will remain defined by rejection or step fully into the crown fate has been preparing for her. She was rejected by an Alpha. But she may have been chosen by a King.
