When a young shifter with a devastating inherited curse is dragged into the glittering world of Golden Claw, she expects execution—until she's scented by one of the city's most powerful alphas, and suddenly she's claimed by an entire pack of dangerously dominant men who won't take no for an answer. Desperate to break the cycle of destruction that consumed her mother, she knows rejecting them is her only path to survival, but these alphas have never encountered resistance before and they're absolutely not backing down. Packed with fated mate intensity, complex world-building, and a heroine fighting against destiny itself, this is a swoon-worthy romantasy about finding strength in unexpected connections—even when everything tells you to run.
