A Beta's curiosity. A desperate Omega's obsession. When death becomes undone, the consequences are more terrifying than the grave.
Isak El-Amin should have stayed dead.
As a Beta in the respected Solheim werewolf pack, Isak has always been fascinated by the one thing his kind cannot do?wield magic. His research into why wolves are denied this power leads him deep into dangerous territory: the mysteries of life and death. When a magical accident kills him, the protective sigils he'd carved into his skin activate under a blood moon, dragging his soul back from whatever lies beyond.
His impossible resurrection sends shockwaves through Verdenshavn's supernatural community. The Solheim pack faces suspicion and political pressure as factions debate whether Isak's return is a miracle or an abomination. Confined under house arrest, Isak struggles with the physical and psychological aftereffects of cheating death while his relationship with Chloé Vaillancourt?his colleague at Solheim Construction and the woman he's falling for?becomes his lifeline in the chaos.
But Isak's defiance of natural law awakens something darker.
Ronan Farrow lost everything when his pack was slaughtered. Now, as a broken Omega consumed by grief and isolation, he sees Isak's resurrection as the answer to his prayers. If one wolf can return from death, why not an entire pack? Ronan's desperate attempts to replicate the impossible begin with small animals and escalate to grave robbing, creating grotesque undead creatures that terrorize the city and weaken the barrier between life and death.
As Ronan's madness spirals and his creations grow more dangerous, Isak realizes the true cost of his curiosity. The supernatural community fractures, Solheim Construction suffers, and innocent people pay for his reckless pursuit of forbidden knowledge. When Ronan kidnaps Isak to force him to perfect the resurrection ritual, their confrontation will determine not just their fates, but whether the natural order can be restored.
Some questions should never be asked. Some boundaries should never be crossed. And some prices are paid by everyone except the one who breaks the rules.
