Nova, an enforcer of the Secret Coven, has been guided by four prophecies her mother left before she passed away. She followed the first two and survived—but she ignored the third: never marry a fellow Alpha. She chose to bond with Lucian, her partner who had fought beside her through life and death. On the night she discovered her pregnancy, Lucian coldly admitted he had fathered a daughter with her apprentice, Vivienne—and ordered Nova to abort their own child. When Nova tried to dissolve their mate bond, Lucian used brute force to humiliate her publicly, and in front of his mistress, he shot Nova through the chest himself. Then the fourth prophecy surfaced, demanding she never break the mate bond. In her despair, Nova realized that only by breaking free from this toxic relationship could she unravel the life-or-death conspiracy hidden behind her mother's prophecies.
