On the night of her Choosing Ceremony, she discovers that her destined mate is none other than Kael Draven, the ruthless Wolf King. But instead of claiming her, Kael publicly rejects her.What Lyra doesn't know is that Kael's rejection was never about hatred. Her parents once entrusted him with protecting her from an ancient prophecy—and keeping Lyra's true identity hidden.When Lyra's dormant powers awaken, she discovers that her mother may still be alive, her father may not have betrayed the kingdom, and an ancient Wolf King is determined to use her blood to reopen the legendary Gate of Wolves.

She is the first true Moonwolf, born from two powerful bloodlines and destined to stand between two wolves—one who would protect her and one who could destroy the world for her.Now Lyra must uncover the truth about her birth, decide who she can trust, and face the terrifying secret hidden inside her own blood. Because the rejection that broke her heart may have been the very thing that kept her alive—and the Wolf King who pushed her away may be the only person capable of saving her.But when the Gate begins to open, Lyra discovers that the greatest danger isn't choosing the wrong mate. It's discovering that the future she's trying to prevent may already have happened.
