They watched me die. I remember every face. Three years ago, Seren Vale was executed for a crime she never committed. Her mate, Lucian Arden, stood by and let it happen. The silver crown that ruled her kingdom remained untouched. And the ruthless Alpha she had spent years believing was her enemy watched from the shadows as the blade fell. Then Seren opened her eyes. Three years before her execution. Her brother is alive. Her enemies haven’t made their move. And Lucian is still the man she once loved. But Seren remembers how this story ends. This time, she refuses to become the helpless woman they killed. She will save her brother. She will uncover the truth. And she will never love Lucian again. Then Alpha Darius Veyne arrives. The most feared Alpha in the North. The man Seren once accused of betraying her. Except Darius looks at her as if he’s seen a ghost. Because he remembers something he shouldn’t. He remembers her death. As assassins begin hunting Seren, secrets buried beneath her family’s bloodline start resurfacing. Every attempt to change the future saves one life—but puts another in danger. And the closer Seren gets to the truth, the more impossible it becomes to ignore the man standing between her and death. Darius was supposed to be her enemy. So why does he keep saving her? Why does her wolf trust the man she once hated? And why does every answer bring Seren closer to a terrifying possibility— the Alpha she was never supposed to love may be the only man who can keep her alive. But this time, fate is watching. And it has already decided who must die.

Tavian Veyr owns a shipping empire, commands Bellacosta’s most feared crime family, and can buy almost anything except the feeling that he deserves to exist. Since witnessing his mother’s murder as a boy, he has lived by one conviction: everyone he loves becomes someone he fails. Then Ilyra Vale walks into his abandoned conservatory and tells him his roof is falling apart. A gifted art conservator with little patience for powerful men, Ilyra is hired to restore the last place Tavian remembers his mother alive. Their uneasy partnership becomes a refuge neither expected. Through arguments, quiet meals, and memories uncovered beneath damaged paint, Tavian begins imagining a life beyond the empire that raised him. But Ilyra carries a truth that could destroy that future. Her father killed his mother. She has known for years. What began as fear becomes something uglier when she falls in love: a desperate willingness to postpone the confession that might cost her the only man who has ever truly seen her. As an anonymous woman calling herself Moth sends fragments of the past, a stranger known as Peregrine begins dismantling the family’s protected history. Both have reasons to want the truth exposed. Neither intends to leave Tavian’s world intact. When the secret finally breaks, love cannot erase complicity, and revenge cannot restore the dead. With his empire turning against him and Ilyra forced to choose whom she will betray, Tavian must decide whether loving his enemy’s daughter is his greatest weakness or his first freedom.
