‎Nora Bennett has spent twenty-two years believing she is nothing more than an unwanted orphan trapped beneath the control of a woman who never wanted her. She has learned to survive quietly, carrying the pain of a childhood she never understood and the unanswered questions surrounding the parents she barely remembers. But when her stepmother tries to hand her over to dangerous men, Nora is forced to run and her escape leads her straight into the territory of the one man she should fear most. ‎ ‎Adrian Blackwood is London’s untouchable billionaire, the ruthless chairman of Blackwood Construction, and the man secretly known as the Mad Wolf. Behind his wealth and power lies an ancient secret: Adrian is a Wolf-Bearer bound to Veyr, a mysterious wolf spirit connected to a supernatural legacy his family has guarded for generations. He trusts no one, controls everything, and has spent years keeping the darkness inside him under control. ‎ ‎Then Nora enters his world. ‎ ‎The moment Adrian sees the strange silver mark on her skin, something ancient awakens. Nora is not the helpless woman she believes herself to be. She is the Last Guardian, the final descendant of a bloodline created to protect an ancient balance between Guardians and Wolf-Bearers and her blood is connected to a secret powerful enough to threaten them both. ‎ ‎As Nora and Adrian are pulled toward each other, buried truths begin to surface: a corrupted Blood Oath, a forgotten Guardian sanctuary beneath London, the mysterious First Wolf, and a darkness called the Hollow that can steal memories, imitate the people they trust, and turn love itself into a weapon. ‎ ‎Nora must uncover why her parents sacrificed everything to hide her, while Adrian must confront the secrets his own family buried generations ago. The closer they get to the truth, the harder it becomes to know who is protecting them, who is betraying them, and what is truly waiting behind the darkness. ‎ ‎When Nora finally discovers why she was chosen, will she have the courage to become the Guardian she was born to be or will the darkness claim her before she can uncover the truth?
