When a desperate escape from her castle lands her in the territory of the brutal wolf king—a man forged from violence and vengeance—a young noblewoman finds herself trapped as his captive. Armed with a secret plan to save her kingdom and a fierce determination to resist his dark pull, she's certain she can exploit the monster everyone fears. But as she begins to glimpse the wounded soul buried beneath his savage exterior, the line between captor and savior blurs in the most dangerous way possible. This lush, atmospheric fantasy is a sweeping enemies-to-lovers tale that explores whether love can truly heal the deepest wounds—and what it costs to choose it anyway.
