Esther
Aurelia Raven spent her entire life believing she knew where she belonged.
Raised in the royal palace after losing her parents, she grew up beside the future Alpha King, loved by a queen who treated her as family and dreaming of the day fate would finally make her his.
Instead, fate destroys everything.
On the night their mate bond is revealed, a shocking accusation turns Aurelia's world upside down. The man she trusted above all others publicly rejects her, and within hours, she loses her home, her future, and the only life she has ever known.
Banished and hunted for, Aurelia is saved by the last person she ever expected—the Butcher of the North.
Feared across the continent, merciless in battle and dangerous enough to make even kings think twice.
Kael Draven should have left her to die.
Instead, he brings her into his territory.
The closer Aurelia gets to the infamous Alpha, the more she realizes that one should truly not judge a book by it's cover. And sometimes the people who claim to love you are far more dangerous than your enemies.
But buried beneath old lies is a truth powerful enough to destroy an entire kingdom.
And when that truth finally comes to light, the prince who cast Aurelia aside may discover that some mistakes can never be undone.
Especially when the woman he rejected now belongs to the Butcher of the North.
