Lira Valencia Vale perceived her life to be lost after Cauis, her mate, rejected her coldly due to her low status at the bottom of the hierarchy and she was thrown into the Blackmoor forest. A place where the discarded and forgotten are exiled and left for dead and she froze for weeks while pleading for the goddess to take her life. But a strange phenomenal occured and she found that the dried up area where she was thrown in had somehow flourished during the week she had laid there and they all branched towards her to shield her from the harsh glare of the sun. And a pup chasing it's own tail glowed above her weak body, illuminated by the small streaks of sunlight filtering in through the gaps in the trees. As she tries to umearth what this could mean, a wolf approached her and offered a deal that would change her life, a deal that would change the land but at what price and would she take this deal? But again, what even is this deal that carried so much power behind it and who is this Wolf?

A forced marriage. A forbidden stepbrother. And a family powerful enough to destroy her. Aria Griffin Beaumont was born into the shadows of wealth; the used, betrayed, and discarded shadows. Now she’s back, married to Aston Beaumont, the cold billionaire husband who makes her blood boil…and burn. He’s dangerous, untouchable, and every bit the enemy she should hate. But then there’s Liam. Her golden stepbrother. Always charming, reckless, and off-limits. He wants her, he always has; and nothing makes him angrier than seeing her in another man’s ring. One thing’s for sure, he’ll stop at nothing to have his desires. Unfortunately, the biggest stone in his path happens to be Aston Beaumont himself, handsome, cold, untouchable, and maybe just a touch obsessed with his wife and her son. Two men. One her husband. One her forbidden sin. Both tangled in the secrets of a family that thrives on lies, betrayals, and power plays sharp enough to cut. Aria is determined to do more than survive their world of polished daggers and whispered threats, she’ll rise. With her fashion empire as her weapon and her wit as her shield, she’ll claw her way from pawn to queen. But the deeper she goes, the more the line blurs between love and obsession, loyalty and ruin, desire and destruction. And when the truth finally comes out, she’ll have to answer the question that has haunted her from the start: Is the real danger in her ruthless husband’s bed… or in the forbidden eyes of her stepbrother?
