    Synopsis

    Princess Aurora longs to escape the castle and the marriage that has been arranged for her.

    But on the night before her wedding, at a dog fight where captured werewolves are made to fight for sport, she spares the life of a young wolf. It puts her on the radar of the powerful alpha who was going to kill him. And it changes everything.

    That night, when the alpha escapes, he kidnaps her and takes her to the rugged lands north of the border—where the once warring werewolf clans are beginning to unite. He thinks that she is the key to winning the war against the humans.

    Only, as they spend time around one another, forbidden attraction starts to grow. And as Aurora learns that not all wolves are bad, the alpha discovers that she is in danger from both his enemies, and those he once considered friends.

    With monsters on both sides, a bloodthirsty war between humans and wolves raging, and undeniable passion growing between them—will their story end in love? Or tragedy?

    And will Aurora ever get home?

    Does she even want to?

    Dog fights are barbaric.

    They say the fighters in the ring revel in violence. They say the wolf inside them is always looking for a release. Even on nights like tonight when the moon is not full and they look like men.

    And don’t they deserve violence for what they have done to our lands?

    Yet how many will die? And for what?

    I shift on the wooden chair, tugging at the high collar of my gown, then pushing an errant strand of red hair out of my face. It’s hot in here. Too hot. Claustrophobic.

    When I stepped out of the carriage two days ago, the rugged landscape of the Borderlands called to something deep inside of me—even though I have never been this far north before.

    Thinking of what lies beyond these stone walls makes me want to rip off this dress and escape this castle. I want to tear through the untamed grass and feel the wild dandelions between my toes. I want to smell the pine trees and hear the wind howling through the mountains.
