They banish sinners to the forest so the world can forget them.
Beyond the bone-arched border of Witchgrave lies a living nightmare?an ancient forest that devours memory, flesh, and fate itself. No one returns. No one survives.
Until her.
Condemned for a crime she didn't commit, Elowyn Ashborne is cast into the forest meant to erase her existence. But Witchgrave does not kill her. It awakens her. Her blood?rare, volatile, and dangerously coveted?draws the attention of something far worse than death.
Vaelor Draxenfell, the cursed Wolf Sovereign of the hidden realm beyond the trees, is a legend spoken only in fear. Assassin. Executioner. Keeper of forbidden borders. Bound by an ancient curse and haunted by a prophecy he despises, Vaelor is ordered to hide the girl whose blood could destroy him?or set him free.
He should kill her.
Instead, he protects her.
As mage inquisitors close in and the forest itself begins to stir, Elowyn and Vaelor are pulled into a slow-burning, obsessive bond that threatens to unravel curses, kingdoms, and the last fragments of Vaelor's humanity.
Because fate doesn't want her dead.
It wants her claimed.
Dark, atmospheric, and dangerously addictive, Anathema of the Wolf Sovereign is a gothic dark romantasy filled with blood magic, forbidden obsession, and a forest that remembers everything.
