“Something hunting werewolves in the cursed territory of Shadow Vale. They vanish one by one, their only legacy a pool of blood and the aroma of black magic. Blinded by rivalry and past betrayals, the packs reject to cooperate while the elderly hint of the reappearance of an ancient warlock. Though his father tells him to keep out of it, Damon Volkner, the merciless heir of Nightfang Pack, is driven to find the truth. Old scars reappear when fate drives him to collaborate with Tessa Morraine, the daughter of Silverclaw Alpha and his erstwhile closest friend turned sworn adversary. Tessa hated Damon for years, blaming him for the collapse of her family, but she now needs to trust him with her life. Deeper they dig, the more they discover a dark warlock seeking retribution on their bloodlines, an ancient curse, and a forgotten prophecy. Damon and Tessa have to decide between their obligation and their indisputable fate as mates when their packs are at war and their own lives is at jeopardy. But their relationship is cursed, hence giving in to it could mean the loss of all they have battled to save.”
