As a Suntouched Soul, the first born in generations, I've lived a life of privilege. With the guidance of the Elders, I'm on track to take over leadership of the wolf tribes. There's just one catch: I have to marry Corvin, a high-ranking male in our army, to attain the throne. Problem is, I have no interest in Corvin—or any male for that matter. While the Elders plot my wedding, set for the next solar ascension, the panther tribes nip at our heels, causing strife and distracting me from my duties. As if this wasn’t enough on my plate, I come across another Suntouched Soul while on a routine patrol in the woods. She’s badly hurt, near death, and it’s up to me to get her to the healers before it’s too late. Mystery surrounds this gorgeous woman. Will I uncover her secrets before they end me?

Forgive me, Igni, for I have sinned. I laid with a wolf, and now their Elders have ordered my death. Shunned by the convent that raised me, with precious few allies left, my mate and I must raise an army while evading the death squads sent to sniff us out. Both panther and wolf must set aside generational grudges to expose the Elders’ corruption before the solar ascension. Time ticks on. The days grow long, the nights recede, and our options grow slim. The final war is coming. We all have our parts to play, and one wrong move could end the panther tribe and secure the Elders’ hold on the wolves.
