On the day she is meant to rise as Luna of the Silverwood Pack, Moon Reign Alderio's world is ripped apart. Dragged into the sacred hall in chains, covered in blood, she is accused of sleeping with the enemy. Evidence she has never seen is thrown at her feet. Her wolf is silenced. Her mate, Alpha Aldrin, not only refuses to hear her truth, but he also does the unthinkable. Before the pack, before the Moon Goddess, he rejects her and replaces her with her own sister and banishes her from her very own pack. Branded a traitor and banished, Reign is dragged to the rogue-infested mountains. A death sentence? Definitely, because rogues and wolves are rivals by nature. But the gods are not done with her. The sky cracks open, while the moon bleeds. And a prophecy stirs. Abandoned by her mate, betrayed by blood, and hunted by monsters, Reign discovers a truth darker than treason—Silverwood’s greatest enemy is not the one they accused her of lying with… but the one they crowned. And the one male destined to save her is none other than the cursed, exiled Lycan King who should never have found her: Magnon. The man whose mere existence angers the gods. His secrets are darker than the crimes he has committed, and Reign is part of the secrets. Reign will rise again, but this time not as Luna. But, destruction.

I spend an entire year preparing to get my daughter, Quincy Lindell, into a top international school. By the time the application review date rolls around, I have all the documents ready. I just need my wife's and my original marriage certificate to seal the deal. However, when I reach the admissions office, my wife, Wendy, blames me for taking matters into my own hands. I am about to explode when the school staff member says with a strange expression, "Mr. Howards, our system shows that you are not Ms. Lindell's spouse." My blood turns to ice. Before I can react, Zachary Shea, who has been quietly standing behind Wendy, passes his wedding certificate to the person in charge. The school staff member nods after checking her computer. "Ms. Lindell, Mr. Shea, your certificate was validated seven and a half years ago. You can now register your child for this school." Seven and a half years ago… That was the date of Wendy's and my engagement party. She held my hand in front of a room full of guests and said that I would be the only man she ever loved. That one sentence was enough to fool me for seven years.
