Clair wakes up inside a beast-world novel as Lira, a doomed side character accused of poisoning a wolf cub.
She was supposed to die in the opening trial. Instead, she saves the dying cub, exposes the first crack in a deadly tribal conspiracy, and catches the attention of five powerful Alphas: a cold wolf king, a fierce tiger warrior, a cunning fox healer, a gentle bear guardian, and a sharp-tongued eagle Alpha.
All Clair wants is to survive the story she already knows. But when a mysterious moon mark awakens on her body, an ancient beast bond is triggered by accident.
Now, the cannon-fodder girl who was meant to disappear becomes the one woman five Alphas cannot ignore. As the original story collapses and danger closes in, Clair must decide whether to keep running from fate—or become the woman who changes the beast world forever.
