About this book

A Court of Thorns and Roses meets Game of Thrones in the first book in a sensational new romantasy series where a headstrong princess is kidnapped by the alpha of a werewolf clan, leading to all-out war, and forbidden romance...

When a princess is kidnapped by an alpha, war rages between the humans and the wolves. But soon, forbidden attraction starts to grow…

Princess Aurora longs to escape the castle and the marriage that has been arranged for her.

But on the night before her wedding, at a dog fight where captured werewolves are made to fight for sport, she spares the life of a young wolf. It puts her on the radar of the powerful alpha who was going to kill him. And it changes everything.

That night, when the alpha escapes, he kidnaps her and takes her to the rugged lands north of the border—where the once warring werewolf clans are beginning to unite. He thinks that she is the key to winning the war against the humans.

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.

MMC Callum is sweet as sugar—steady, thoughtful, and impossible not to love—while the bratty FMC Aurora brings sharp edges, humor, and tension that make...

This author had to put special magic and craving dust into this story as I could not put it down. I loved this story so much and the characters were just as fabulous.

Aurora was a fabulous FMC that has been stuck playing the role of lady in the hopes her father would notice her. But beyond that, she has continued living and when the chance...

Scottish wolves, say less

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...
