About this book

Princess Aurora is trapped in a gilded cage, counting down the hours until a loveless political marriage seals her fate. Her life takes a jagged turn when an act of mercy at a brutal werewolf fight catches the attention of a ruthless, powerful alpha. Instead of a wedding feast, Aurora finds herself abducted and dragged into the rugged, untamed lands of the north, becoming a pawn in a brewing war between humans and the shifting clans.

This explosive start launches a dark romance that crackles with forbidden tension. As Aurora navigates the treacherous politics of a werewolf society uniting for battle, the lines between captor and ally blur. Forced to survive among enemies, she discovers a found-family dynamic that challenges everything she was taught about the monsters living beyond the border. With the fate of two species hanging in the balance, she must decide if her heart belongs to the crown she left behind or the alpha who stole her away.

Perfect for fans of high-stakes romantasy, this shifter series delivers a fast-paced, addictive narrative that keeps readers up until the early hours. It is an intense, emotional journey filled with complex characters and undeniable chemistry. If you crave stories where royal duty collides with primal passion, this is your next obsession.

Reader Reviews

fast paced, intensely plotted, and a super read!

It can't end here! I had convinced myself that this was it for the characters and hated to think that I would not learn more about them. Of course, I was too tired, it was pushing 4 am and I should have read a bit longer into the info about the author's upcoming book which said... Part two is coming.So,...

4.5⭐️ - This was so entertaining! I followed along with the audio, I loved the audio for this one. This is a book I could’ve read in one sitting, but alas can’t with kids. I loved the characters, the world, the plot, and while I did predict some small twists, there were others I did not see. Our main characters had so much tension and banter. I spent 80% of this book smiling like an idiot. I was kicking my feet and giggling half the time. I loved the Scottish vibes from Callum. He was giving...
