Synopsis：On the day Seraphina, daughter of the late Lycan King, is to mate with Alpha Ryker of Blackridge Pack, the ceremony turns into a cruel humiliation. Ryker sides with the scheming rogue Elara, forcing Seraphina to “share” her mate and mocking her royal title as worthless. Seraphina refuses to bow. Just as Ryker drags her from the carriage, King Silas—her secret guardian and the most powerful ruler in the realm—arrives with the fearsome Shadow Vanguard, ready to upend the balance of power in the lycan world.
