When Nyra Vale’s Bone Rite bleeds ash instead of fire, she becomes the most dangerous wolf alive. Bound incompletely to Kaelen Draven, heir to Blackmoor, she is taken under his protection — or imprisonment — while the Council debates her fate. But as ancient sigils fracture and secondary bonds ignite, it becomes clear: Nyra is not a defect. She is a correction. The Covenant was built to suppress wolves like her. Now it is cracking. And the only question left is: Will she rule the ashes? Or will love destroy the system that created them?
