About this book
When Ayden's world is shattered by a brutal Lycan attack, vengeance becomes her sole reason for breathing—until she meets Kane, a newly bitten Lycan who holds the key to uncovering her buried past. As she joins forces with the Sons of Wrath, a crew of demon warriors, to hunt her attackers through Detroit's dark underbelly, the chemistry between her and Kane ignites with an intensity that threatens to derail everything she's fought for. With only seven days before Kane's transformation becomes irreversible, Ayden finds herself torn between the consuming hunger for revenge and an unexpected desire that could change everything. This dark, high-octane romance perfectly balances visceral action with scorching tension, exploring what happens when your greatest enemy might actually be your salvation.

Dark, intense urban fantasy vibes with industrial edge and smoldering tension. Mix gothic rock, moody R&B, and cinematic orchestral elements. Think Nine Inch Nails, The Weeknd, Massive Attack, and haunting synth-pop. Atmospheric, dangerous, deeply sensual.
