The Runaway Luna

Pearl has only ever known chains: Pandara orchard walls, her father’s disdain, and her sister’s poisonous smile. When her only friend betrays her, Pearl escapes the Pandara orchard with nothing but torn flesh and a mother’s whispered promise in her ears: Run far enough, and no one will find you.



Across the dark river lies Vartun, a kingdom where strength rules through fang and vow. Here, Alpha King Ronan, a cursed wolf caught between man and beast, is in desperate need of a mate whose blood can bind the beast within him and bear the heirs foretold by prophecy.



Taken in by Mendel, Ronan’s clever younger brother, Pearl discovers she possesses a power thought to be extinct: the Bloodbind, a rare gift from the Silvershade line, a clan wiped out before she could take her first steps. Her orchard mother wasn’t really her mother at all, just a woman who found a wailing baby wolf and kept her hidden away.



Now Pearl must fight: 11 rival she-wolves stand between her and the Luna’s crown. If she wins, she’ll have to survive a night with the Alpha who has broken every mate before her. If she fails, she’ll die nameless, in chains, and forgotten.



But the Pandara stray has fangs now, and the crown is thirsting for blood.
