For centuries, the werewolves of Ebon Hollow have lived under the shadow of an ancient curse. Bound by a pact older than memory, they offer one of their own as a sacrifice beneath the Blood Moon, believing it is the only way to keep the Hollow King sealed beneath the land. It is a brutal, unbreakable tradition—until Lorien is chosen as the next offering.Lorien was raised to believe in duty and sacrifice, but when she stands bound in ritual chains, something stirs deep within her. A voice calls to her from the darkness, whispering secrets the Elders have long buried. Her blood burns with power, and her shadow moves of its own will. The ritual is meant to end with her death, but instead, it unravels something far worse. The seal cracks, the Hollow King stirs, and the werewolves of Ebon Hollow realize too late that they have been feeding their own destruction.Branded as a traitor and hunted by the very people she once called family, Lorien flees into the night, pursued by the Elders’ enforcers and haunted by the whispers of the Hollow King. Her only ally is Ronan, the childhood friend who dares to question the laws of their ancestors. As the truth behind the Blood Moon Pact comes to light, Lorien must make an impossible choice—embrace the power within her and risk becoming the very monster they fear, or fight against destiny and lose herself in the process.But time is running out. The Hollow King’s prison is crumbling, and with each passing night, his influence grows stronger. If he rises, Ebon Hollow will burn, and the werewolves will fall under his dominion.Lorien’s fate is sealed in blood. The only question is: will she be the savior of her kind—or their final destruction?
