About this book
When a full scholarship to an elite academy opens her eyes to the supernatural world and introduces her to Raffe—her broody, fated mate—everything changes for an outcast who's spent her whole life on the margins. But their connection threatens powerful forces: a wolf shifter king determined to prevent their bond and a secret society willing to kidnap her to keep them apart. Caught between warring factions and discovering her own rare, world-altering heritage, she refuses to be anyone's pawn or play by anyone else's rules. With a war brewing and her at its center, she's determined to forge her own path, even if it means standing alone.
