Evelina Arden’s forced marriage to Duke Cassian Vale begins with humiliation, holy wine, and silver weapons hidden in a noble feast. Everyone calls Cassian the cursed Alpha Duke, a monster waiting to lose control. But when Evelina touches him and stops his transformation, High Bishop Merek realizes she is the one thing the Sanctum never expected. Cassian is not merely cursed. He was marked, collared, and used as a weapon. Evelina is not merely unwanted. She is Moonbound, able to calm Alphas, break hunting spells, and awaken power in her blood. As masked hunters attack, wolf children are found beneath the church, and the buried First Alpha rises, Evelina and Cassian are forced to fight the Sanctum, the court, and the ancient darkness their broken chains unleash. To save the children and the realm, bride and wolf must choose freedom—or become the final seal together.
