Annabel’s world crumbles when her mate, Alpha Maxwell Stormrider, falls in battle, leaving her widowed and cast aside by a cruel, power-hungry pack. Stripped of her title as Luna, she endures humiliation and servitude at the hands of Maxwell’s stepfamily. With nowhere to go and no one to protect her, Annabel faces an agonizing future as she is forced to the edge of survival.

But fate isn’t done with her yet.

When the infamous King Darius Blackwood—a ruthless warlord rising to unite the packs under his iron rule—raids her pack, Annabel is among the captives taken to his brutal stronghold, Blackgate. Bound in chains and branded as a slave, she prepares for a life of servitude—or worse.

What she doesn’t expect is to discover that Darius is her second-chance mate.

Caught between the lingering grief for Maxwell and the terrifying pull of the bond with Darius, Annabel must navigate a deadly web of court politics, power plays, and dark desires. As she fights to reclaim her dignity and survive in this savage new world, Annabel realizes that her connection to Darius may be her greatest weapon—or her ultimate doom.

In a tale of love, loss, and vengeance, this story explores the strength of a broken heart, the resilience of the spirit, and the dangerous allure of a bond forged in fire. Will Annabel rise above her shattered past to seize her destiny, or will the shadows of her pain and the cruelty of her enemies consume her?
