Bannie. Brisée. Trahie. Valérie n'a jamais demandé à être choisie par la déesse de la Lune. Elle n'a jamais demandé un compagnon qui se moquerait de ses cicatrices, raillerait son corps et l'humilierait devant sa meute. Lorsque Darius, son compagnon prédestiné, la rejette de la manière la plus cruelle qui soit, elle s'enfuit dans la nuit, blessée et seule. La mort aurait dû l'emporter. Mais le destin en décide autrement. Un puissant Alpha la sauve des renégats, pour découvrir l'impossible : Valérie est sa seconde chance de trouver un compagnon. Mais Brian n'est pas le seul à être attiré par elle. Ses trois frères, dangereux et enivrants à leur manière, se rapprochent, poussés par des forces qu'ils ne peuvent expliquer. Et dans l'ombre du royaume, les ennemis murmurent une prophétie... une prophétie qui désigne Valérie comme la clé d'un pouvoir plus grand que celui de toutes les Luna avant elle. Mais Valérie n'est plus la jeune fille faible qui implorait l'amour. Elle est le feu. Elle est la tempête. Elle est la vengeance incarnée sous les traits d'une Luna qui ne se laissera plus jamais briser. Et lorsque quatre hommes puissants se battront non seulement à ses côtés, mais aussi pour elle... le monde apprendra que la déesse de la Lune ne commet jamais d'erreurs.

Jace Thorne—my childhood crush—crashed a car with me. I walked away fine. He "lost his memory." Plot twist: my dead grandma's soul moved in. "Jace is faking amnesia again to mess with my sweet granddaughter. If I were alive, I'd break his legs myself!" I blinked. Hard. Grandma's voice wouldn't shut up. "In her past life, Demi was miserable. Jace left her to rot while he partied with that Stafford girl. Had a heart attack, and he was lighting birthday candles. Trash!" Then came the kicker: "Your grandpa's letting you pick your fiancé. Don't even think about Jace. Pick Leroy. That boy's actually decent." Right on cue, Grandpa strolled into the hospital with the elder squad, slapped down pics of four legacy heirs, and told me to choose. I didn't even blink. Picked Leroy Leighton—my childhood nemesis turned fiancé. Because yeah, I'm a grandma's girl to the core. If she said Jace Thorne didn't love me, then I was so done.

After my father died, my mother remarried and took my younger sister and me with her. But her new husband had one condition—she could only bring one child. From people who used to hang around my dad, I later learned that my grandfather was actually a wealthy antique collector. My sister clung to him for her own future, refusing to let go. But in his eyes, her only job was to get straight A's; everything else—her clothes, her meals, her allowance—was kept to the bare minimum. I went with my stepfather instead. His business took off, and we eventually moved into a huge mansion. He even set me up with an engagement to the heir of a powerful, wealthy family. My sister was eaten up with jealousy. One day, she doused me in gasoline and dragged us both back in time to that day we had to choose our futures. This time, she lunged for my stepfather's hand and held on tight. "I want to stay with Mom and Dad," she announced. I didn't miss a beat. I immediately ducked behind my grandfather. 'Fine, Phoebe. You're the one who chose a life as a bargaining chip. Don't blame me for it. You can have it.'

When my grandpa fell gravely ill and needed treatment abroad, the elders in the family decided to choose a junior to accompany him. They picked my cousin, but my mom tearfully pleaded with me to take her place. "You're a doctor. Caring for your grandfather is second nature to you. Bianca is an orphan, frail and delicate. She can't handle such a grueling task." To save her distress, I agreed to go in Bianca Pittman's stead, embarking on a five-year stay abroad. When my grandpa finally recovered, I boarded a flight home, eager to reunite with my family. But as I landed, a post on my mother's social media froze me in my tracks. [My daughter is getting married! Thank you all for your blessings!] But I was her only daughter. I couldn't help but wonder who she was referring to.

Before my crazy grandmother died, she gave me three walnuts. According to her last wish, I cracked open the first walnut on my twenty-fifth birthday. Inside the walnut was a slip of paper. 'Go to the skybridge and grovel at the first beggar you meet' was the instruction written on it. When I looked at the note, I could feel my cheeks burning with embarrassment. Still, I did as told. To my surprise, the beggar turned out to be an undercover cop. Only later did I learn that I had long been targeted by human traffickers, and the bow had saved my life. As for the second walnut, my grandmother told me to crack it open before I got married. When I put on my wedding dress, ready to marry the policeman who saved me, I happily opened it. This time, there was a crumpled old photograph inside. In the photo, my fiancé was smiling as he strangled another bride.
