Nora Lunaris was born with silver hair and crimson eyes—a mark her clan called monstrous. Her fox familiar Caspian tormented her for a year, then publicly chose her cousin Celia over her. Nora broke the bond. She chose a shiftless black dog no one wanted—a mute beast even the councilors couldn't identify. Everyone believed it was just a dog.
That night, he shifted into a man. Golden eyes. He held her when she cried, fought for her when she couldn't. He told her her eyes were never a curse—they were a bond, a promise, a home. She named him Darius. He gave her what she'd never known: someone who chose her first.
She didn't know he was Theras Blackmoon—the Wolf Sovereign.
As Celia's coronation neared, Nora's true bloodline came to light. Her mother's secrets surfaced. Her mother's murderer was unmasked. And when her power finally awakened, Nora rose—not as the outcast she was born, but as the Wolf Queen. With Darius at her side, she reclaimed her throne, and avenged her mother.
