Jesse Shackelford

Unfit to stand near a crown.But on the night of the Moon-Moot, Eira Thorne feels the mate-bond snap into place like a brand—hot, undeniable, sacred under old law. For one heartbeat, she thinks the pack will finally be forced to see her.Then Rurik Blackthorne looks her dead in the eye and forsakes her.He names Lady Isolde Ashriver as his Luna-to-be. He casts Eira beyond the Briarline with no shelter, no mercy, and a bond-scar that still pulls at her ribs like a chain.Exile should mean distance.Instead, it wakes something ancient.A pale crescent blooms on Eira’s wrist—quiet as a bruise, sharp as a promise—and suddenly the shadows beyond the border aren’t random. They’re waiting. Hunting. Closing in for what her blood might be worth.With danger snapping at her heels and truth buried under pack politics, Eira has only one way forward: stop begging to be chosen… and start taking back what was stolen.Because if she really is a queen, they don’t get to throw her away.
