"To end the war between the Kingdom of Lancaster and the Blackwood Wolf Pack, Serena Lancaster willingly marries Damon Blackwood, the Wolf King she grew up beside. She believes love can heal old hatred. Years later, it is Damon who leads the wolf army through the gates of Crown City and destroys her kingdom and her family.
After the fall, Serena is imprisoned in the North Tower, branded a sinner by Damon himself.
But Damon doesn’t know the truth: ten years ago, when he was dying in the Blackpine Forest, Serena swallowed a lethal bloodworm to save him. For ten years, it has been devouring her from the inside. She has only three days left to live.
Only when Serena is truly at death’s door does Damon learn everything—and finally feel the agony she has endured for years. But by the time he begins to regret, to make amends, to win her back, Serena no longer loves him.
In the end, her dying wish is simple: never see Damon again.
Damon abdicates, returns the throne to the Lancaster family, and carries the bloodworm curse that binds him to her—spending the rest of his life paying for everything he has done."
