She was erased to keep the peace. He was ordered to deliver her to her death.

Ilyra Morcant survives by being no one-masking the strange pulse in her blood and keeping to the market shadows of the dominions. When a street ambush ignites a turf war between the High Council's hunters and the outlaw Shadow Collective, the secret she's smothered all her life flares to life... in front of the one rival Alpha she should never trust.

Kael Varyn of Ashfall Ridge has one command: surrender the last Forsworn heir and save his pack from crippling sanctions. Then the impossible happens-the bondmark burns between them. Kael makes the choice that could start a war: claim the outcast instead of delivering her.

Hunted by elders with oaths that choke, cornered by mercenaries who sell mercy by the ounce, and bound by a pull neither of them asked for, Ilyra and Kael must turn survival into strategy. Her blood can unbind corrupt vows. His pack is the only shield she has left. Together they might topple the Council's quiet tyranny-or die proving that consent is the only law worth keeping.

Perfect for readers who love fierce hidden-heir heroines, protective rival alphas, enemies-to-lovers slow burn, pack politics, masquerade heists, and a courtroom-arena finale. Complete single volume. No cliffhanger. HEA.
