He says I’m his mate.
His Luna.
The one the prophecy spoke of.
But I’m not a wolf. I’m an assassin.
And I was sent to kill him.

Kaelor Voss is everything I was raised to hate, powerful, ruthless, Alpha.
And yet… when he touches me, I feel the bond they swore didn’t exist.
If I run, I’ll break us both.
If I stay, I’ll burn everything I’ve ever known.

I never believed in fate.
But now fate believes in me.

When Myrren Vale is summoned to the royal palace, she expects suspicion. She expects secrets.
She does not expect him.

In the kingdom of Eirden—where magic hums beneath silk and every smile hides a blade—Myrren serves as a scentcrafter, trained in herbs, toxins, and the silent truths that cling to blood.

The court wants her quiet.
The crown wants her gone.
But Prince Thane… sees her.

Golden, gracious, and far too kind for the thorns surrounding his throne, he draws her into the palace’s glittering heart—offering warmth, safety, and something dangerously close to belonging.

Yet not all eyes in the palace are kind. The king’s ward, Lord Corven, watches her with unreadable silence—as if her very breath carries a truth he cannot ignore.

When nobles begin to die and the scents on their corpses whisper of poisons Myrren once crafted, she realizes the greatest danger is not the court’s corruption, nor the ancient power stirring awake beneath its stones.

It is what love makes you blind to.

What if your locker whispered your name?

I came to Ravenshade Academy hoping to disappear. But frost spirals follow me, mirrors whisper secrets, and the Rift has already claimed me.

Now two very different boys refuse to let me go:

Luke—my childhood best friend, warm as sunlight, the only safe thing in this cursed place.
Ashriel—the forbidden guardian bound to me by prophecy, dangerous as midnight.

One promises safety. The other tempts me with shadows.
And the Rift? It whispers my name, demanding I choose.

But what if choosing between them opens the Rift?

When the cursed bell tolls, someone dies.
This time… it’s coming for me.

I never believed the town’s legends—not until the night a crow dropped a thin metal strip at my feet with my name carved into it. Since then, every toll has brought frost-script warnings, eerie deaths, and a shadowed boy who appears out of nowhere… always right before things go wrong.

Callen Roe.
Bound to the bell. Dangerous, magnetic, impossible to trust.
And somehow always a step ahead of my fate.

Then there’s Ezra Quinn—my oldest friend. Steady. Safe.
Except lately he watches me like he’s afraid of losing something he never said out loud.
Jealousy is unraveling him, and I don’t know how to stop it.

As the debt ledger awakens and classmates start vanishing, I’m pulled—along with a handful of survivors—into a deadly game against the cult that forged the curse. The bell demands payment. The ledger keeps writing. And every new secret points back to me.

Caught between two boys and hunted by an ancient debt, I’m running out of time.
I have one impossible choice:

Break the ledger… or pay with my life.
