Maevra Sorn has spent years believing Ravaryn’s Alpha, Rhydan Varek, is the enemy responsible for her father’s death.
Then Rhydan’s younger brother is murdered, and Maevra is found beside the body with a Thornmere blade at the scene.
Everything points to her.
Execution should be inevitable.
Instead, Rhydan invokes an ancient law that can prevent their two packs from returning to war.
He marries the woman he should hate.
Their marriage is meant to be nothing more than a political weapon, but someone is determined to make peace fail. Assassination attempts, forged military orders, missing witnesses, and secret payments reveal that the prince’s murder is only one piece of a conspiracy buried beneath sixteen years of bloodshed.
Forced to investigate together, Maevra begins discovering that the man she was taught to despise may not have committed the crimes she blamed him for. Rhydan, meanwhile, learns that his dangerous enemy bride is nothing like the monster Ravaryn created in its stories.
Trust becomes risky.
Attraction becomes impossible to ignore.
And the closer they get to the truth, the more powerful enemies begin turning their own packs against them.
Someone started the war.
Someone murdered Rhydan’s brother.
And someone will kill again before allowing Maevra and Rhydan to uncover why.
