He has watched her die eleven times. He has counted every one.
For three centuries, Kaelen Morningstar has carried a grief no one else can understand. He is the alpha of an ancient wolf shifter pack, bound to a fated mate whose soul keeps returning - and who keeps dying at exactly four months pregnant, cursed by a queen who refused to let their bloodline survive. Eleven lifetimes. Eleven deaths. One man left standing each time, carrying all of it forward into the next.
This is the twelfth.
Daciana Ravenwood has no memory of any previous life. She knows herself as a twenty-four-year-old royal guard who earned every inch of what she has, a woman with nightmares she can't explain and a wolf who recognizes a man she's never met. When Kaelen arrives in Silverhold with centuries of grief in his eyes and secrets behind every word he says, she does what she always does with things that matter - she moves toward them.
But the curse is not finished. Seraphina Blackwood, the reincarnating soul of the original queen who cast it, has been maintaining the working for three hundred years. An imprisoned seer witch has been alive as its anchor for four centuries. And somewhere inside Daciana's blood, a trigger is counting down to the same moment that has killed her every time before.
What is at stake is not only their lives. It is the end of a cycle - or the continuation of it. For the curse to break, three impossible things must happen simultaneously: the anchor must choose to release, the ancient soul must be destroyed permanently, and Daciana must survive the moment that has never been survived before. All of it dependent on the one variable that has never been in the equation until now: a man who has finally stopped running from what he loves, and a woman who has never once known how to stay down.
This is a full-length paranormal wolf shifter romance novel featuring a centuries-spanning fated mates bond, a slow-burn romance built on equal partnership, a villain with genuine menace and a centuries-long history, and a hard-earned HEA for two people who have never been given one before. Perfect for readers who love their alpha males broken in ways that matter and their heroines impossible to diminish.
If you have ever believed that love could be strong enough to break any curse - this is your book.
