Out of the frying pan, into the fire. Or rather, from civil war, to invading the magical realm. From life to death, and back again.... I back up Artem, the Alpha of my pack in all things. I would hate to leave my beloved Diana behind, but she's never loved me the way I love her. I would loathe for her to just settle for me. It's terrible to have a bonded mate who doesn't seem to care about me except as the guy who gives her mind-blowing sex. I'm not a bear-shapeshifter, only werewolf. I'll never be able to give her the cubs she wants so she can carry on her clan. Yet though she refuses to marry me in this realm, she chooses to come with me to invade the magical realm as part of the rightful ruler Celeste's army of supernaturals. Diana is willing to fight for justice by my side to end the persecution of the werewolves and other beings that those in power appear determined to wipe out. Rather than bring us closer together as bonded mates, the invasion pulls us further part. Once again, Diana starts to flee from me and the magical love I'm sure we share. What dark secret has she been hiding that's holding her back from allowing herself to love me? Will I ever get my happily ever after with the woman I adore? Or will she keep on treating me like I'm second-best? A shocking transition back through the portal to visit Diana's sister Serena back in this world puts everything I love most at risk once more. Will Diana and I get the life of our dreams at last, or our worst nightmare? This is the stunning conclusion to the 4-book Justice Ascending series.
