Patricia Dickson
Publicly humiliated and stripped of her collar at her own Ascension ceremony, omega Briar Vane has nothing left-no pack, no protection, no name worth keeping. A stranger-Alpha's contract marriage saves her life. Still, it can't save her secret; the power she's spent her whole life burying marks her as the last heir of a bloodline every ambitious Alpha on the continent has been quietly hunting for twenty years. As Briar rises from disgraced omega to the most feared Binder the Accord has ever seen, she gathers four men whom each want a place in the life she's building-and sets out to dismantle, clause by clause and truth by truth, the man who orchestrated her ruin before she ever knew his name.
