Serena Blythewood

Branded as the traitor's daughter, Leia Lockwood is bound in chains and dragged to the fortress of her father's enemies. To silence unrest, Alpha Cassian Revian—ruthless warlord of Frostvale—takes her as his ceremonial bride under a sacred blood oath. But what begins as a political sacrifice ignites an ancient curse within Leia's blood—one powerful enough to burn kingdoms and unravel the fragile balance between love and duty.

As Leia hunts for the truth behind her father's execution, she uncovers forbidden secrets buried in the shadows of war: betrayal, manipulation, and a fallen Alpha who may still live. With the curse consuming her sanity and Cassian slowly surrendering everything he once stood for, their fates become entwined in a bond neither fully controls.

When the blood moon rises, Leia must choose between sacrificing herself to end the curse—or accepting the monster inside her and daring to love the one man willing to burn for her.

In a world where power demands blood and loyalty is a weapon, love might be the final rebellion.

Frostvale Keep stood untouched by fire—but the air felt colder.


Cassian rode through the gates flanked by rebel guards and a silent crowd. His back was straight, but his eyes held shadows.


Leia walked beside him, shackled once more—but not by metal. By fear. By the weight of hundreds of stares.


Inside the council hall, the atmosphere was ice.


Elder Saren stood slowly. “Alpha Cassian… no longer holds blood power. His bondmate is cursed. What future do you offer us now?”


“Truth doesn’t feed our people,” snapped a noble. “Winter is coming. And your presence brings wolves from the south, unrest from the mines, and fear from every child who dreams of claws in the night.”


In the infirmary, Iris handed Leia a small vial. Inside swirled ash-flecked liquid.
