Aria Vale, an ordinary human woman, was divorced after three years of marriage by her husband Julian, who claimed she was "beneath his station." She left with only the crescent moon pendant her mother had given her. On the day of the divorce, the pendant awakened—Aria's dormant werewolf royal Alpha bloodline surged to life. A crescent mark appeared on her palm, granting her healing powers and light-wave combat abilities.
Her awakening was detected by a Watcher of the Moon Shadow Council. The heirs of three great families—Lance Draven, Cameron Ashford, and Zachary Thorne—arrived simultaneously with lavish betrothal gifts. Amid the protection and rivalry of her three suitors (later expanding to seven), Aria uncovered the truth of her origins: she was the daughter of the previous Alpha King Gabriel Whitmore and Queen Seraphina, sent away during a family coup twenty-five years ago.
Her parents were imprisoned by the villain Augustus in the Moon Source Tower. Aria must pass through seven sealed gates to free them—and ultimately be crowned the new Alpha Queen, abolishing the old systems of forced royal consorts and bloodline sacrifice.
