Lyra Elowen has spent her whole life mastering the art of disappearing.

In the crowded streets of the Lower Howl District, she's just another healer with ink-stained fingers and a tarnished family name-daughter of a supposed traitor, tolerated but never trusted by the royal pack.

All she wants is a quiet life far from the gaze of the palace.

The Moon Goddess has other plans.

On the night of the Tri-Lunar Convergence, when unmated wolves gather beneath three full moons to seek the partners destiny chose for them, Lyra only attends to appease her pushy cousin. She stands at the very edge of the sacred circle, hoping no one will notice her.

The future king does.

Crown Prince Kael Rivenhart is the Shadow Wolf Prince of Lunaris-battle-hardened, untouchable, and bound to a life of duty. The council has already decided which noble daughter he should claim to secure the throne.

But when the moonlight hits, his wolf doesn't reach for a polished noble.

It snaps the mate bond to the quiet healer trying to hide in the shadows.

In one heartbeat, Lyra becomes the most watched wolf in the kingdom-envied, hated, and hunted. Kael's unexpected choice ignites a storm of palace whispers, deadly plots, and simmering rebellion. As rogue attacks rise along the Shadow Border and evidence of a traitor inside the palace surfaces, all claws point at Lyra's disgraced bloodline.

To survive, Lyra and Kael must decide if they trust the bond-and each other-enough to stand against a kingdom built on bloodlines and lies.

Because fate doesn't care about politics.

And once a Shadow Wolf Prince chooses his mate...

he'll burn the world before he lets her go.

Perfect for readers who love royal wolf packs, fated mates tension, slow-burn heat that turns molten, and dangerous palace intrigue in their shifter romance.
