Every year before the Blood Moon, the werewolf kingdom sends young women into Moon Forest. Only one bride is promised to return as the Alpha’s Luna.
Aveline Vale was never meant to be chosen. She was thrown into the forest wearing her sister’s name, a false bride marked for death. But Moon Forest does not simply test brides — it devours them. Beneath the ancient trees, Aveline discovers silver nameplates that remember blood, cages filled with forgotten brides, a prince chained by his own inheritance, and a tiny black-gold dragon whose shadow belongs to a king of night.
The deeper Aveline runs, the clearer the truth becomes: the Last Bride is not chosen to rule. She is chosen to feed an undying wolf god.
To survive, Aveline must stop running, reclaim her true name, gather the broken names of every bride before her, and turn the forest’s blood road back against its master.
