A rejected mate. A hidden identity. A deadly love triangle between alphas.

Princess Lyraleth Morwyn thought she knew heartbreak-until her fated mate, King Draevon Thornwick, rejected her before two kingdoms, choosing another woman over their childhood bond. Humiliated and cast aside, she escapes to the rival kingdom of Zephyros, hiding her true identity behind the mask of a lowborn healer.

When Crown Prince Kaelan Nightfall is bitten by a deadly shadowviper, Lyraleth uses her forbidden shifter magic to save him-but before she can speak, a jealous court rival claims credit for the miracle and wins the prince's favor.

Now serving as palace physician, Lyraleth watches Kaelan grow stronger-and more drawn to her. His inner wolf recognizes her, even if his heart doesn't. As their connection deepens, court politics turn deadly, and jealous rivals plot her downfall.

But danger multiplies when King Draevon arrives, seeking peace-and finds the woman he rejected in the arms of his enemy. Torn between two alpha males and hunted for her power, Lyraleth must choose: surrender her heart or reclaim her crown.

Perfect for fans of steamy shifter romance, forbidden love, enemies-to-lovers, and fated mates with a strong heroine who won't be claimed without a fight.
