Rowan is cast out of her werewolf pack for failing to shift, forced to leave behind the only life she has ever known. Alone and packless, she crosses into unfamiliar territory-and into the attention of Ciaran, a powerful vampire ruler who feels an undeniable pull toward her he is determined to conceal.
When Rowan is offered safety, choice, and time for the first time in her life, a quiet bond begins to awaken-one that challenges everything they have been taught about power, loyalty, and survival.
As old threats stir and forbidden connections carry deadly consequences, Rowan and Ciaran must decide whether survival alone is enough, or if trusting the bond between them is worth risking everything.
