Soren has made her home in the forest's depths, finding solace in the endless wilderness and the company of ancient trees. She survives through hunting and gathering, her existence defined by independence and careful vigilance. The wolves that prowl these woods are unlike any natural predators—larger, more intelligent, unnervingly controlled. She knows they've caught her scent. She knows they're coming. When one of these creatures finally crosses her threshold, Soren's carefully constructed world shatters. The alpha who claims her is dark and dangerous, yet his protection becomes an addiction she never expected to crave. As distance transforms into devotion and fear melts into fierce belonging, Soren discovers that some bonds are worth breaking free from solitude. In this dark romance, the hunter becomes the hunted, and surrender becomes her greatest strength.
