Everyone in Cerys’s post-apocalyptic underground pack knows her as the weakest wolf in the silo. She is dependable in hydroponics, loved by her community—and every Wolf Night she returns torn apart, barely alive, with no memory of what happened outside.
When Rhys, her childhood love, is chosen as Alpha, Cerys believes the future they planned together is finally within reach. Instead, he ends their relationship. He cannot keep waiting for the night she never comes home, and he cannot ignore what the pack will think of an Alpha tied to its weakest wolf.
After the next Wolf Night leaves Cerys nearly dead, Elis, the healer who has known her injuries for years, becomes an unexpected source of trust, attraction, and a life that might not revolve around Rhys.
Then Cerys is declared unfit to shift.
She stays inside for the first Wolf Night of her adult life.
By dawn, the pack returns devastated by a coordinated attack from the Lost.
It is supposed to be their first assault. But the timing makes no sense.
As Rhys begins to face what his choice cost him and Elis becomes a real romantic possibility, Cerys is pulled into a growing conflict with Idris, the Lost war leader, whose strange familiarity with her raises a terrifying question:
What if everyone—including Cerys herself—has been wrong about the kind of wolf she really is?
