My father is dead. The crown is mine. And my enemies are just getting started.

I survived death and resurrection. I endured rejection and reclaimed my power. But nothing prepared me for this: my father Magnus, murdered. The Supreme Alpha throne suddenly mine. And a realm that sees me as a soul thief unworthy of the crown.

Drowning in grief and duty, I push everyone away, including Kael, the mate who once chose wrong. He's tired of being second to a throne. I'm terrified of failing my father's legacy. And our bond is fracturing under the weight of impossible choices.

Then Viktor's followers return with a new leader. More cunning. More ruthless. More patient.

Caught between territories that need me and a mate who demands I choose, I face the hardest question of all: Can I be Supreme Alpha without losing myself? Can I trust Kael not to fail me again? And what happens when leading means sacrificing the one thing I fought death to keep?

Some crowns are inherited. Others are earned in blood and ashes.

I have the power. I have the throne. Now I just need to survive long enough to keep them both.
