Aubrey Pepper
Astrid was a powerless human living in a world dominated by werewolves. To save her younger brother, Luca, she entered a brutal game held by the Crown Prince on his wedding day.
There, her fate became entangled with two werewolf nobles.
During the game, she was hunted by Jace Hunter, the prestigious royal ward from the Northern Noble House.
After the game, she became the pet of the Third Prince, Cayden—the cold and ill-fated royal known as the Cursed Prince.
But instead of exploiting her, Cayden released her and sent her back to her old life. Only when she returned did she discover that Luca was gone. According to their neighbors in the slums, a royal guard had taken his life.
Determined to avenge her brother, Astrid returned to the palace to serve Cayden.
She intended to use her position to exact her revenge. But the royal palace was far more complicated than she had imagined.
And so were Cayden and Jace.
As Astrid delves deeper into palace life, she finds herself entangled in political intrigues, dark secrets, and unexpected obsessions. She also begins to uncover the truth behind Luca’s death—and discovers that his murder was far more complicated than she ever imagined.
