Celeste Nightshade was never meant to be seen. Locked away since birth, she was nothing more than a shadow – a forgotten heir with no future. But on the night of her long-awaited debut, everything changes. She senses her fated mate among her guests, her heart racing with the promise of freedom and love.
Then, in front of the entire pack, he rejects her.
Orion Blackwood, the powerful Alpha she was destined for, turns his back on her and claims her perfect sister instead. Before Celeste can even grieve the betrayal, Seraphina is found dead. And all eyes turn to her.
Branded a murderer, Celeste is thrown into a nightmare of torture, humiliation, and betrayal. But she is no ordinary wolf. As darkness rises and secrets unravel, she awakens a power that could either reshape the werewolf world – or destroy it. With enemies closing in, an obsessed Alpha desperate for redemption, and a war on the horizon, Celeste must decide:
Will she seek vengeance, claim her rightful place, or carve a new destiny of her own?
The truth was never meant to come to light. But now that it has, the world will never be the same.
