In a world where trust is a rare commodity, a bond forged by fate may be the pack's only salvation.
Within the shadowed depths of the Moonshadow Pack, the weight of leadership has always rested heavily on Colt Tyler's shoulders. The alpha's trust is hard-earned and seldom given, especially when danger lurks in every shadow. Someone-or something-has set their sights on his pack, intent on destroying everything he's fought to protect. When a young Guardian, Ariana, arrives on her first mission, the pack's future is thrown into further uncertainty. Her power, blessed by the goddess of lightning, is undeniable, yet Colt can't shake the nagging doubt-she's too young, too untested. Can this inexperienced Guardian truly protect what he holds dear?
Ariana's arrival is no coincidence. Sent by the vampire king himself, she carries a dual purpose: to heal a gravely injured pack member and to help Colt uncover the identity of the threat that looms over them all. Her mission is clear, but winning Colt's trust is an entirely different battle. With his icy demeanor and guarded heart, he sees her as a challenge rather than an ally. Yet, as darkness encroaches and enemies circle closer, her courage begins to thaw the alpha's mistrust.
As darkness encroaches and enemies circle closer, an unexpected bond begins to form between them-one that transcends duty and defies the mortal and divine. As their connection deepens, Colt must decide-will he trust in the fate that brought them together, or will his fears tear them apart?
