He marked her as his mate—then crowned her sister as his queen.
Once the cherished daughter of Alpha Gideon, Ava fell from grace after a tragic incident that led to her younger sister’s death. Cast out by her father and hated by all her pack, she lived in the rogue lands for a decade, marked as cursed.
After ten years in exile, Ava Duskthorn finally returns to the Blackvale Pack on her 18th birthday only to be publicly rejected by her fated mate, Alpha Caden Varkas—who claims her sister Seraphina has returned from the dead to take her place. But Seraphina isn’t the sister she once knew…and something ancient and evil is wearing her face.
Betrayed by blood and bound by a cursed mate bond. Ava must choose: break the chains of fate or lose everything she’s ever loved.
