Vengeance is the only thing worth dying for. Teaming up with a handsome rival named Ephrem, the banished Princess Lilliana must find her stolen Ardent talisman before a sinister enemy uses it against both rival wolf pack strongholds, intertwining the destinies of the two would-be lovers.

In the treacherous City of Temple where supernaturals and humans intertwine, only the most cunning will survive. The ArcKnights, MarkTiers, and KelHan strongholds have finally joined forces, creating the largest collaboration between wolf packs which has ever existed in the City of Temple. As a peaceful age settles into the kingdoms, a dark, menacing power lurks on the outskirts of the city. A magic so old, none of the packs have ever encountered it. It is the keeper of old magic, a wielder of all spells, and a shapeshifter who can assume any guise. The most dangerous of all shifters has awoken after centuries of dormancy and its thirst for blood is unending. It is a legendary being called the Vanquishing and it’s out of control. Leopold, the General of the ArcKnight Army, is now in charge of capturing the Vanquishing. Plans are well under way when he stumbles upon a strange young woman named Noni, who is unschooled in the ways of the world. He knows she’s no ordinary woman and is full of secrets locked up tight. Whatever she’s hiding, it’s something she’d rather forget. With Leopold, she discovers there’s more to life than the magic raging inside her. His fierce loyalty, love, and his delightful sort of chaos enraptures her. Yet, when the monster within demands payment, Noni must fight for her new life in a way she never has before.
