The poisoned Supreme Wolf King Lucien holds the Crown Trials to choose his heir, offering Princess Elena’s hand in marriage and the title of Crown Prince as the prize.
Asher, scorned as a wolfless failure, hides his true strength behind the guise of a drunkard. Wielding elemental magic, he defeats the Oathbreaker Legion and wins both the crown and the authority of a Lord of Judgment. He then uncovers the truth: his uncle Garrick poisoned his father and stole his wolf spirit—but the revelation triggers an invasion by the Oathbreaker King.
Reunited with Elena, the girl he saved in childhood, Asher falls in love with her. Through a willing mate bond, his wolf powers are restored, and together they defend the kingdom—and secure their future.
