Luna Ashford, the rightful heir to the Northern wolf clan throne, sees her life shatter on the day of her coronation. Her mother Elara is fatally stabbed in front of all twelve clan nobles, with a doctored crystal projection framing Luna as the matricidal traitor. Manipulated by Morana, the power-hungry high priestess of the ancient wolf Temple, Luna’s betrothed Kael Draven turns his silver blade on her, condemning her to public execution under old pureblood laws.
Saved by Mara, her mother’s most loyal servant via a charred body double, Luna fakes her own death and flees North for New York under the forged identity Selene Voss. She infiltrates Silvermoon, a powerful corporate wolf syndicate run by Damian Blackthorn—a feared mixed-blood Alpha overlooked and targeted by the Temple. Luna strikes a deal with Damian: she will seize the North’s core hunting grounds crippling Kael’s rising regime, in exchange for his resources to uncover the Temple’s buried secrets. A mysterious soul-binding blood link immediately ties Luna and Damian together; every wound one suffers manifests on the other’s body, forged by the ancient power of the Bloodmoon, the dormant magic of the First Wolf sealed centuries ago.
