[Because she’d rather die than belong to the monster she loathes.]

Sylva never asked to be the Werewolf King’s chosen mate — let alone be forced into it. But after a planned attack drags her from the human world into the hidden realm of werewolves, she awakens to find her fate already sealed… without her consent.

Sylva Smith is a 23-year-old Biology student at the University of Exeter — quiet, sharp-witted, and perfectly content with her simple life: her mother, her books, and the strange, vivid dreams she’s long learned to ignore.

While hunting, the werewolf king Thalos Draeven discovers a wounded and unconscious human on the forest floor. Upon realizing that she is a half-witch, he takes her prisoner.

As Sylva lies unconscious, her mother — desperate and terrified — after finding out she had crossed and was taken by a werewolf, turns to the witches for help. When they demand her release, Thalos offers a cruel condition: Sylva must become his queen, and only then will the centuries-long war between their realms end.

Faced with the chance to save their people, the witches choose survival — and sacrifice Sylva’s freedom.

Now, she’s bound to a kingdom she never asked for… and a destiny she’s determined to challenge.

Lycien, from his corner vantage point, exhaled slowly.

The Second Prince of Valecroft set down his glass with a deliberate clink that echoed louder than it should have.

Not a polite chuckle, nor the carefully measured humor of diplomacy—but something raw, sharp-edged, and almost unhinged. Mocking, bold, and just amused enough to make nearby nobles glance at each other in silent dread. The laughter rang like a cracked crystal in a room gone still.

As it faded, he exhaled a scoff, eyes flicking over Thalos like he was reassessing a bad investment. His words followed.
