He's a king who hasn't shifted in twelve years. She's a blood mage sentenced to die at dawn. Their only hope requires breaking every rule.
King Torrhen Blackmoor's wolf killed his mate during his first shift, fracturing his consciousness into warring halves that left him barely holding onto his throne. The kingdom whispers he's weak. The council plots to replace him. And the beast locked inside grows more violent with every passing moon.
When exiled blood mage Saskia Thornwell is dragged from her execution cell and offered an impossible choice?cure the incurable king or die?she knows it's a trap. She practices forbidden consciousness magic that could heal him... or shatter his mind completely.
But the daily therapy sessions reveal a devastating truth: Torrhen didn't lose control. He was drugged and magically compelled to kill by someone he trusted. And that person is still in power, still manipulating the kingdom, and now targeting Saskia.
Evidence is planted. Witnesses bribed. An assassination attempt warns them they're running out of time. Because Saskia isn't just healing Torrhen?she's making him whole. Strong enough to shift. Strong enough to expose twelve years of conspiracy.
Strong enough to choose her, despite every political pressure demanding otherwise.
As the Clan Summit approaches, they face an impossible deadline: complete the integration, unmask the traitor, and survive the judgment of seven alpha wolves?all while falling desperately, dangerously in love.
Because healing a fractured king requires more than magic. It requires trusting that broken things can become whole when someone refuses to give up on them.
