"Play the part of my submissive future Queen, and I will keep you alive. Fail me, and my brother will dissect you." Sold on the auction block to the ruthless Crown Prince Gunnar, Lena, a "wolfless" slave, expects a life of misery. Instead, she is dragged into the royal wing to serve as the secret stabilizer for a terminal curse eating the Prince alive. Gunnar is a monster who treats her kind like beasts, but his touch ignites an electric fire Lena can’t explain. As she navigates a den of vipers led by his sociopathic brother Arlo and her obsessively twisted attendant, Elian, Lena’s dormant powers begin to stir. But the greatest danger isn't the palace intrigue, it's the truth hidden in her nightmares. Gunnar isn't just her master; he is the man who ended her world. When the wolf awakens, will she use her power to save him, or to tear his kingdom down?
