A cursed wolf. A marked sacrifice. A fate neither can escape.

Harper was never meant for greatness. In a world of magic, she has none—no power, no purpose—at least, not one of her own. Her parents molded her for a singular fate: a marriage built on status, not love. But Harper dreams of more, of a world that does not define her by what she lacks.

Aurora was once a legend, a name spoken in awe and terror—the Alpha of the Duskfang Pack, a force of nature wrapped in flesh and fury. But power breeds defiance, and defiance breeds punishment. Now, she is nothing but a guardian in the shadows, bound to a curse that stains the very land she prowls.

What begins as a mistake turns into something far more dangerous. Harper’s presence stirs a hunger Aurora thought long dead. But Harper is not safe in her arms, and Aurora is not safe in hers.

Their desire may be the key to breaking the curse… or the thing that destroys them both.
