The Debt-Bound Queen

Fifty years ago, a starving boy freed a woman chained beneath a frozen lake — the lost Lycan Queen. Bound to him by three blood oaths, she makes one final promise at his deathbed: marry his arrogant grandson Caleb and protect him until his thirtieth birthday. Until the debt is paid, her power and her scent stay sealed, and to the pack she is nothing but a wolfless outsider. For five years she is mocked, unmarked, and pushed to her knees, while secretly guarding the Ashford pack from the shadows. Now only days remain on the silver brand around her wrist. And when midnight strikes, everyone who called her nothing is about to learn exactly who she is.
