After her cruel master loses everything to gambling, Lyra is sold at the largest slave auction on the continent, where kings, Alphas, and wealthy nobles gather to buy human lives as if they were livestock. She expects another monster. Instead, she is purchased by the most feared ruler alive. Kael Draven, the Ruthless Lycan King. The king whose name mothers whisper to frighten their children.

Because the slave everyone pitied... ...was never meant to kneel. She was born to rule. And when the truth is finally revealed, crowns will fall, kingdoms will bleed, and the Moon Goddess herself will demand a price no one is prepared to pay. He bought her as his slave. Fate chose her as his mate. The world will remember her as its queen.
