A heartbroken fairy queen seeking a night of escape awakens the heart of a grumpy wolf warrior who will bring kingdoms to their knees to claim her.

When I was young, I was told that my true love would be a fairy king. I didn't heed the warning. I fell in love the moment our eyes met, not knowing he wasn't what he seemed.

My king wanted marriage, power, devotion, and a family. He had everything but one, and while our kingdom teetered on the brink of ruin, the weight of failure tore us apart. Though it wasn't war, but his betrayal that made me flee to a foreign land.

And straight into the arms of a one-eyed warrior.

The wolf was a heartless weapon of destruction, a vagabond without a real name, and nothing I could have wished for. A week spent inside his city and within the walls of his decrepit house was all it took to irrevocably change everything.

And absolutely nothing.

For there was no escaping the life I once thought I would have forever. My kingdom was dying, and my king would soon begin searching for his missing queen. Trying to hold onto everything I had found, fueled by the bitterness I had caused, would only create more.

So I fled from the wolf who hadn't learned my true identity, and returned to my kingdom with a silent vow to heal my broken heart. I would try to forgive my unfaithful husband and accept my blood-stained future.

But those impertinent destinies had other plans.

The warrior he had abandoned without warning was born a hunter and conditioned to be a monster. An alpha in his own right, he would accept nothing less than what he hungry for. Even if the battle of his life delivered our hearts to his doom and our kingdoms to his knees.
