The heroine, NORA VALE, is the Luna of the Blackwood Wolf Pack, yet she comes from no distinguished family and possesses no great combat prowess. Her only ability is to hear the inner thoughts of the pack’s pups and wounded members. Her husband, ASHER KANE, considers this ability useless and treats her merely as a figurehead in their political marriage. To secure an alliance with a noblewoman from the Southern Realm, he forces NORA to sign a contract of divorce in public on the very day of his coronation. NORA did not cry as she signed; she merely asked: “When your crown breaks, who will hear your pack scream?” Everyone assumed this was a curse. The very next moment, the Blackwood Pack’s guardian moonstone suddenly cracked, and the royal mark—dormant for a century—landed in NORA’s palm. It turned out she was no ordinary Luna, but the First Moon Heir, capable of connecting to the spiritual sea of all wolf packs. By the time ASHER realized his mistake, it was too late. NORA had already been taken away by LUCIAN DRAKE, the ruler of the Silver Moon Court. LUCIAN was the Wolf King feared by all Alphas; though cold and ruthless to others, he protected NORA with extreme restraint.
