Elias was born without a wolf spirit, branded a disgrace to the noble Ashford bloodline and abandoned by his father the very night he entered the world.
Twenty years later, he returns as an unnamed carpenter, carrying only half a white jade pendant and a single burning question: Who is my mother?
Yet Elias is no ordinary outcast stripped of his wolf essence. Chosen by the Moon Goddess, he harbors a terrifying power within him that towers above all alphas, ancient beasts, and the entire wolf throne.
When he saves Lady Isabella on the borderlands, he is brought to Ashford Castle, where long-buried truths slowly unravel: Isabella is his elder sister, Queen Genevieve is his long-lost mother, and the father who cast him away still refuses to acknowledge his existence.
He is mocked as worthless, insulted for his powerlessness, and treated like a lowly servant — but Elias never utters a word of protest.
Then war descends upon House Ashford.
One by one, their enemies fall.
The century-old Hydra, the brutal Blackthorn Warlord, the resurrected ancient Red Wolf… every creature that dares threaten his family meets the same fate.
This so-called wolf-less carpenter was never weak.
He is the Moon Goddess’s predestined king.
As betrayal, blood ties, and forbidden power intertwine beneath the full moon, Elias faces an impossible choice: seize the throne and avenge his past, or shield the clan that once cast him aside.
