A beauty marked for death. An alien shifter determined to protect her.

Tessa pours her heart into her family’s bakery, despite the constant demands from her cruel stepmother, Lenora. But when Lenora’s jealousy turns deadly, Tessa finds herself at the mercy of Korrin, a terrifyingly attractive Vultor bounty hunter.

Korrin neither likes nor trusts humans, but even he has his limits. Hired to make a beautiful, curvy woman disappear, he chooses to protect her instead, hiding her in the wilds of Cresca. But Tessa’s unexpected kindness and her determination to care for seven orphaned Adyani pups begin to thaw his icy heart.

A poisoned betrayal from someone Tessa once trusted forces Korrin to confront his deepest fears—and his growing feelings for the passionate woman who’s turned his world upside down.

Can a woman with a tender heart and an alien hunter with a guarded soul find their happily ever after?

The series

Full series details →

On the distant world of Cresca, danger prowls the forests in more than one form. Fierce alien warriors, cursed with the ability to shift into wolves, find their carefully ordered lives disrupted when human women stumble into their paths. What begins as distrust and survival soon deepens into bonds forged by passion, vulnerability, and the search for belonging.

Read full series description

Alien Wolf Tales blends the primal pull of shifter romance with the vast possibilities of science fiction. Each story stands on its own yet connects through a shared universe where magic whispers through alien landscapes, ancient curses carry heavy weight, and every encounter between human and Vultor male feels both inevitable and unpredictable.

At the heart of the series lies contrast: strength matched with tenderness, ferocity softened by trust, and loneliness answered by love. Whether it is a beastly warrior hiding behind a fearsome form or a heroine who discovers courage in the face of the unknown, the characters reveal that even in the farthest corners of space, connection is what makes survival worthwhile.

With its mix of fairy tale echoes, steamy tension, and alien intrigue, this series offers a world where the boundaries between predator and protector blur, leaving readers wondering what waits in the shadows of Cresca’s wild forests.

What Risingshadow readers think about this book

10/10

This was a great Retelling of Snow White with some appearances of characters from the previous book but is a standalone story. I loved getting to know Korrin & Tessa in this story and the seven orphaned adyani pups that Tessa had taken in were all so cute, I loved whenever they made an appearance. I am looking forward to reading the next book Alien Charming about Seren & Elli and am also hopeful that we might get to see more of Malrik in another future book as I feel his character has potential for a Beauty and the Beast retelling.
