Swapped at birth. Raised by rogues. Cast aside by her biological family.

They thought she was a worthless nobody?until the Dark Lycan King knelt at her feet.

For eighteen years, Cynthia Rowley survived the unforgiving wild, hunted like a rogue and treated like dirt. When a mix-up at birth is finally uncovered, she is summoned back to the elite Green Moon Pack. But instead of open arms, she is met with cold stares and utter contempt. Her biological parents adore Kelly?the pampered, manipulative imposter who took her place?while treating Cynthia like an illiterate stain on their prestigious Alpha bloodline.

They want her submissive. They want her to know her place.

What they don't know is that Cynthia isn't just surviving. She is living a double life: a prodigy hacker, an underground surgical genius, and a lethal shadow with power that terrifies even seasoned Alpha warriors.

And her wolf isn't dead?she's bound by an ancient curse she intends to break.

Then comes a fateful night at an illicit black-market auction, where an iron cage holds Austin Norton?the ruthless billionaire Lycan King known to the world as the Dark King. Powerful, lethal, and devastatingly captivating, Austin looks right through the crowd and marks Cynthia as his fated mate.

Kelly thinks she can take everything that belongs to Cynthia. Her pack thinks they can break her. But when a sealed beast stirs and the city's most feared Alpha king will burn down the world just to claim his queen, the hunters will become the prey.

Will Cynthia claim the throne that was stolen from her, or will the secrets of her blood tear New York's supernatural underworld apart?
