From condemned rogue to a king's mate, Ivy thought she had found her place.
But some secrets refuse to stay buried.
Just as she starts to trust Kyson, starts to believe in their bond, the truth emerges-her mother was the one responsible for the massacre of the Landeena Kingdom. The one who stole everything from Kyson, including his sister.
Now, the man who saved her, the mate who swore to protect her, is the one punishing her for sins she did not commit.
Betrayed and heartbroken, Ivy does the only thing she can. She runs.
But running from a mate bond is impossible. Running from Kyson? Even harder.
And when she finds herself facing a fate worse than death, Ivy must decide-does she fight for the mate who broke her, or does she let the past claim them both?
Author's Note - Before You Read
This is a dark, angsty paranormal romance where love is tangled in betrayal, vengeance, and an unforgiving past. Ivy thought she had found her place as Kyson's mate, as his Queen-but some sins are never forgiven. Her mother destroyed his kingdom. Now, he might destroy her.
Trigger Warning: This book explores deep emotional turmoil, themes of betrayal and punishment, and a possessive Alpha struggling with his own darkness. Expect a slow-burning but intense reunion, a Rogue on the run, and a King who must decide if his mate is worth more than his vengeance. If you love high-stakes tension, broken bonds, and love that must be fought for- then this book is for you. But beware: some wounds don't heal without leaving scars.
