In the frozen North, Freya—last survivor of the White Wolf tribe—hides her identity for sixteen years after watching her father slain. As a substitute bride forced into House Vance, she serves the cold pureblood Alpha Marcus while secretly hunting the sacred Moon Tear before imperial hunters exterminate her kin. Marcus scorns her as a nameless tool, yet his wolf spirit recognizes his fated mate. When traitors and hunters storm the estate, Freya sheds her disguise and awakens as the White Wolf Maiden, freeing her enslaved people and crushing her enemies. As the tyrant kneels, offering crown and ring, she lets it fall: prove you are worthy.
