Bitter Moon

In a world divided by ancient blood feuds, Kael Vance, proud heir to the Silverpine Pack, performs the Rite of Severance to reject his fated mate—only to watch the ritual fail. The bond does not break. It deepens. And the one on the other end is Asher Nocturne, a vampire prince with a poet’s mouth and a predator’s stillness, whose coven has been the pack’s mortal enemy for three centuries. When wolves and vampires begin dying along their shared border, marked with symbols from a cult believed destroyed before the feud began, Kael and Asher are forced into a clandestine alliance. Every piece of evidence they uncover points not to the other side, but to a hidden faction within their own bloodlines, orchestrating the deaths to reignite the war. As Kael’s wolf fights its fated bond and Asher battles the cold legacy of his kind, their forbidden collision shifts from personal betrayal to the bitter heart of a political nightmare. Drawn together by a bond they cannot own and trapped between duty and a consuming love that feels like dying, they must decide whether to become pawns in a war foretold or the instruments of its devastating end. The choice will either unite their shattered worlds or reduce them to ash and memory.
