A human girl. A werewolf king. A fate neither of them can escape. Mira has spent her life walking the fine line between two worlds—born human in a kingdom now ruled by the were-people. She has stayed in the shadows, avoiding their dominance, clinging to the safety of obscurity. But when she’s forced to attend the grand coronation ball of the new Alpha King, she becomes entangled in a game of power, fate, and something far more dangerous—desire. Rafael was born for the throne, raised to command, and destined to rule. As the newly crowned Alpha King, he needs a queen by his side, a woman strong enough to stand beside a king—but one who knows her place. From the moment he lays eyes on Mira, he makes his choice. And once the king has chosen, there is no escape. But love and fear are two sides of the same blade. And in a kingdom where strength is everything, will Mira bow to her fate… or defy the king himself?
