Anya is a lowborn Omega who has never awakened an inner wolf. One night beside a lake in the Black Forest, she encounters Cyrus, the Alpha King of the Ironclaw Pack, overwhelmed by his wolf's instincts. Their encounter changes her life. Vesper, an ambitious noblewoman determined to become his Luna, discovers them and produces a forged prophecy claiming that Anya will murder Cyrus during the Marking ceremony. Cyrus believes the accusation and casts Anya out. Nine months later, alone and impoverished, she gives birth to their daughter, Mila, whose arm bears a mysterious ancient wolf mark. Two years later, Mila's powerful inherited bloodline begins burning through her fragile body. Anya must now return to Ironclaw City.
