A brewing war. A goddess's game. Two souls bound by secrets and blood.. After meeting her fated mate, Kai, on the eve of her warrior trial, Isla's life has changed forever. She's never felt passion or love greater than what burns between them, but it comes at a cost. Thrust into the role of queen at Kai's side, she's caught in a deadly game of politics and power against the kingdom she once called home. And without her wolf, she's more vulnerable than ever.. But she isn't the only one adjusting to a new reality. In the wake of the challenge, Kai's newfound abilities grow more harrowing, and as whispers of his gifts make their way across the continent, he finds himself at the center of the burgeoning strife. A hero, a villain, an ally, an enemy - he doesn't care how he's perceived as long as he can protect those he cherishes. Isla, most of all.. From the moment they met, from before the defiance of their mating bond, Isla and Kai have felt the goddess, Fate, breathing down their necks. Every step, every decision, every tragedy of their lives winding them together until, finally, they could collide. Haunted by a history both bloody and shadowed, their search for answers finally comes to an end, but the weight of the truth is greater than they ever thought possible.
