Ava has always believed three things: vampires must protect their coven, werewolves are sworn enemies, and she is twenty-two years old. But lies run deep in the shadows. When Ava is sent on a mission beyond her coven’s borders, she meets Achi—a quiet, enigmatic human who stirs something ancient in her blood. Drawn to him by a bond she doesn’t understand, Ava struggles to reconcile her feelings with everything she’s been taught. Achi is calm, well-built, and seemingly ordinary… but nothing about him is what it seems. Achi is a hybrid—the forbidden child of both vampire and werewolf bloodlines. Cursed by ancient gods and hidden from the world, hybrids are destined to be locked away on a mountain far from civilization. But Achi has a secret: he escaped. And now, he’s living under a false identity, searching for the one the prophecy named—the vampire girl with silver in her veins and a choice that could save or doom them both. As passion ignites between them, truths unravel. Ava must decide where her loyalty lies—with the coven that raised her in fear or with the man who might shatter everything she thought she knew. And Achi must confront his fate: to love Ava is to break the gods’ law, but to let her go could destroy them all. In a world where bloodlines mean war and love means betrayal, can a forbidden bond rewrite destiny?
