LOGINWhen Thalia wakes reborn in the heart of Silverpine—a secluded werewolf pack—she remembers only fragments: the terror of her escape, the fire she unleashed, the coven sisters she left behind. Haunted by guilt and desperate to hide her witch’s power, Thalia is forced to play the role of the Alpha’s fated mate to protect herself and the pack from enemies within and without. Silverpine is a fortress of secrets, suspicion, and pack law. The council circles, hungry for weakness. Livia, the Alpha’s rival, wants Thalia gone. Only a handful know the truth of Thalia’s magic—and if word spreads, it will mean death for her and danger for the wolves she’s learning to care for. As she navigates brutal trials and dangerous alliances, Thalia is drawn to Rowan, the troubled Alpha who carries scars—physical and emotional—from battles with witches long past. Their fake engagement ignites a bond that neither can ignore, but trust is as dangerous as betrayal. When Rowan’s need for a mate clashes with Thalia’s instinct for survival, both are forced to confront the wounds of their pasts. Haunted by memories of her old coven—of Mira, the friend she left to burn—Thalia must decide: keep hiding, or reclaim the full force of her power. But the magic that saved her may destroy everything she’s come to love. As rival packs close in and the council demands blood, Thalia must choose between saving Silverpine and saving herself. In the ashes of her past, can she forge a new future—or will old betrayals rise to consume them all? A witch among wolves. A lie that can’t last. And a power that refuses to stay buried.
View MoreThe woods hold their breath. Ffion’s hand in mine is cold, trembling—real, but only just. I can feel the Herald moving in her, in me, like a splinter beneath the skin. We stand at the heart of the mist, tangled in roots, memory, and dread.“I don’t want to hurt you,” I say, voice shaking, blue fire licking at my fingertips—hungry, eager, afraid. “I never wanted to hurt anyone. Not before. Not again.”Ffion steps back, terror flickering across her half-formed face. “Thalia, wait. Last time you let that fire loose, you burned down the world.”“I know.” My breath hitches. “But the world needs burning, sometimes. Just not you.”A whisper runs through the trees. The Herald’s voice, inside both our heads—cold, unhurried, patient as hunger.“You are both mine. You called me with your grief and kept me with your shame. Let me root deeper, and you’ll never be alone again.”I clench my fists, fire guttering blue and white. “You’re not welcome here.”The Herald pulses in Ffion—her eyes blacken,
We stand in a clearing so choked with mist it could be anywhere—no path, no stars, just the suggestion of trees pressing in from every side. I cross my arms, magic thrumming beneath my skin, and fix Ffion with the kind of glare that could curdle milk.“Are you going to tell me what this is, or are we going to do the cryptic stare-down all night?” My voice sounds braver than I feel. “If you’ve brought me out here to kill me, I hope you brought snacks. It’s going to be a long night.”Ffion lets out a dry laugh. “Always the mouth on you. I should’ve known you’d greet the end of the world with a punchline.”Lightning flashes in the clouds above—no thunder, just light, as if the sky is too tired to make a sound. I take a step forward, squinting through the fog. “What are you, Ffion? Because you’re not just my old friend anymore, are you? You’re… changed.”Her eyes flick, and for a moment something alien moves behind them—a shadow, a ripple.“I’m not the Herald. Not entirely.” She swallows,
I walk until my legs ache, the cold gnawing at my knees, the world narrowing to a corridor of black-green pine and silver-flecked fog. The path has faded to nothing but a suggestion—a broken line of scuffed earth, a memory of footsteps from another life. Maybe Emyr’s, maybe mine, maybe something else’s. All I know is that I’m still moving, and it’s not entirely by choice.Fear prickles under my skin, bright and electric. If you were smart, Thalia, you’d turn back right now. Of course, I was never accused of being overly wise, not where magic and bad decisions are concerned.The woods change as I go. Branches twist closer, clawing at my sleeves, snagging hair and hope alike. Frost beads in strange patterns—spirals, webs, broken runes I can’t quite read. My boots leave no print in the earth. That’s when I realize: If I vanish here, no one will find me. Not Rowan, not Mara, not even the Herald. Not unless I want them to. The thought is both comfort and curse.The light begins to bend—war
The suspicion seeps in slow, a sour taste at the back of my throat. I recognize the look in their eyes—the careful distance, the watchfulness, the way conversation shudders to a halt if I pass too close. I’ve worn this before, like a too-tight coat, all those weeks in Silverpine. I survived it, barely, then. But now I’m not sure I’ve survived anything at all.The urge to run starts as a whisper behind my ribs. Just a tickle, a flutter. Maybe it’s memory—maybe it’s the Herald, scratching at the inside of my mind, begging me to move, to flee before suspicion hardens into accusation. Maybe it’s self-preservation. Or maybe it’s something darker, a tug on a string I can’t see.Outside, the village is brittle with waiting. I slip through the hall and out into the grey morning, the air sharp with cold and woodsmoke. No one stops me. I think some of them are relieved.My boots crunch frost as I cross the square. I keep my head down, my breath a ghost trailing behind me. Don’t run. Don’t give
The village stands hunched beneath the twisted arms of ancient yew trees, its cottages clinging together like survivors after a storm. Smoke trickles from a handful of broken chimneys. As Thalia and her companions approach, every face that peers out is lined with exhaustion and raw suspicion.At th
The river ice had long since broken and drifted away, leaving behind only mud and the sweet smell of new grass. Days lengthened, birds returned in flocks, and everywhere you looked, something was being mended—fields, fences, friendships.Thalia woke to sunlight and the sound of children’s laughter.
The hall has settled into a kind of cautious routine: the revenant is no longer the terror at the threshold but a guest no one quite knows how to greet. There’s a ring of salt around Fyre’s cot, and the witches come and go with offerings of tea, soup, and old songs. I watch, wary but curious, as th
Dawn bleeds into the hall, pink and thin as a scar. The air feels raw, restless—no one has slept, not really. Lanterns still gutter, talismans flicker dull at our necks, and even the wolves sit in a tight ring around the fire, watching the revenant like it might vanish with the first shaft of sunli
