She was never meant to survive the night the throne shattered-let alone become the force that brought it down.
When an ancient mating bond binds her to Draven, the feared Alpha King whose rule keeps the fractured kingdom from collapsing into chaos, she becomes the last thread holding a dying world together. But the throne he swore to protect is built on a buried horror-an imprisoned beast god that feeds on royal blood, madness, and power itself.
As betrayal erupts within the palace and war spreads across rival packs, love becomes the most dangerous weapon of all. Every choice between them carries a cost: loyalty or rebellion, salvation or ruin, devotion or survival. And when the throne finally breaks, it doesn't free the kingdom-it awakens something far worse beneath it.
Now hunted by enemies, haunted by fractured memories of what Draven was before the darkness claimed him, she must decide whether the bond that ties them is their greatest strength... or the beginning of an extinction-level curse.
Because the Alpha she loves is not just fighting the monster beneath the world.
He is becoming it.
And when the final howl rises from the ruins of the throne, will she be the one who saves him... or the one who destroys him forever?
