Ares has always been different. Outcast from her coven for her daring experiments and unorthodox magic, she’s spent years on the fringes, perfecting her craft in isolation. When a summons arrives from the Alpha King of the werewolves, begging for a witch to break a mysterious curse, her former coven is quick to offer her up. For Ares, it’s the opportunity she’s been waiting for—a chance to prove herself. Traveling to the Alpha’s castle, Ares finds a kingdom teetering on the edge of ruin.
