The Silver Mark

Tessa Quill is a secret: a night-shift diner clerk in a snowbound town, born with a right eye that heals wounds and a left eye that burns werewolves. Her mother Beryl, a runaway hunter heiress, has kept her moving for twenty-three years and sealed her wolf nature - a seal that expires on Tessa's twenty-third birthday. When Tessa hides a wounded werewolf rescuer, Stellan, from a hunting party and shields him with a kiss, she follows him into Cinder Basin to find the father she was never allowed to name. There she learns the pack leader, Garrick, is her father - and that her silver eye once burned a rival heir, Dax, leaving a Fate Mark that binds her body to a man determined to own her. Refusing to be claimed, she survives sabotage, kidnapping and a rigged trial, exposes an arms conspiracy, and wins her place in both worlds. But when hunters and wolves clash at her wedding, the men she loves pay the price - and the seed she carried home may be the only way to give one of them back.
