He rules without a voice.
I heal with magic I'm forbidden to use.

When I am sent to evaluate the most dangerous Alpha in the northern territories, I expect a broken ruler clinging to power. What I find instead is Kaelric Veyne?silent, scarred, and devastatingly powerful.

The moment our eyes meet, the bond ignites.
Fated. Unavoidable. Terrifying.

Kaelric cannot speak his desire, his rage, or his love?but his wolf makes its claim in every breath, every step he takes toward me. His silence is no accident. It is a curse tied to the survival of his pack... and the destruction of my own carefully guarded secrets.

Healing him could cost me my life.
Refusing him could doom us both.

In a court of wolves hungry for his throne, loving a wounded Alpha means choosing between power and passion, duty and desire?
and deciding whether breaking the magic that binds him will also break the world he rules.
