One forgotten sin. A thousand deadly consequences.
Paege Vailenbyrg has always been an outsider in the Wolf-ruled kingdom. As a half-Fae, half-Human hybrid, she's an aberration. Despite her efforts to discover her place in a world made to reject her, Paege finds herself unexpectedly embroiled in a web of secrets, Wolves, and unreliable magic. All of it threatens to shatter the fragile sense of safety she has managed to build around herself.
Caught between two worlds, Paege must navigate shifting alliances and uncover long-buried secrets. The fate of the kingdom hangs in the balance as she becomes a pawn in a much larger game.
Can she trust the enigmatic Wolf shifter Guy Braxtion, whose dark past is as tangled as her own?
Or the notorious bad boy heir Quentin Ishaan, whose sudden interest in her raises more questions than answers?
A kingdom bound by curses.
As the danger escalates, Paege is forced to embrace her true nature and harness her volatile Fae powers. But with powerful forces conspiring against her, a single misstep could unravel the very fabric of their world.
Can Paege uncover the truth about the “Original Sin” cursing the kingdom before it's too late, or will she be consumed by the chaos threatening to tear her world apart?
