Twenty-two-year-old Romy Evers enters Alderwake College under her mother's surname, hoping to find friends before revealing that she is the White Wolf King's heir. Instead, she finds Delia claiming her identity and using the academy's hierarchy to bully anyone who challenges her. With officials protecting the impostor, Romy's attempts to rescue classmates are twisted into accusations, while stolen credentials and falsified records keep the truth out of reach. Her strongest ally is Kit, a quiet student with a painful family connection to Delia. Rescue captain Beckett offers a different kind of bond, but Romy wants trust and choice, not a future dictated by supernatural attraction. As sabotage turns deadly and threats fracture the relationships she has built, she must expose the deception without sacrificing the people caught in it. By the full-moon ball, claiming her name will mean more than proving her power: it will mean showing what a leader owes to those everyone else overlooks.
