My fated mate will die by my fangs.

I went back for my pack—for vengeance against the mate who rejected me, and for the family I may have already lost.

But some bonds refuse to be broken.

The unseelie king I left behind still haunts my blood and my thoughts, and when we’re pulled back together, he makes one thing devastatingly clear: I am not facing the coming storm alone.

Kaeleron is shadow and steel, ruling his court with ruthless grace—yet with me, he is something else entirely: fiercely protective, dangerously tender, and willing to burn worlds to keep me safe.

But as tensions rise and I’m drawn deeper into his world, I’m forced to confront what power truly costs—and how easily love becomes a weapon.

Loving Kaeleron means standing at the edge of a blade forged long before either of us had a choice.

Because the fae do nothing without blood, bargains, or betrayal.

And the closer I come to claiming it, the clearer it becomes that vengeance will demand more than I’m prepared to give.

This time, it isn’t just my freedom at stake.

It’s my heart.

His crown.

And a truth that could tear the realms apart.
