Some secrets are buried in blood. Others howl to be found. When twenty-two-year-old Penny Voss ventures deep into the mist-veiled wilderness of North Cascades National Park, she’s chasing more than just the perfect photograph. She’s chasing ghosts—of her parents, her past, and the pendant pulsing with secrets around her neck. But what she finds is a predator with golden eyes... and a soul that calls to her own. Elias is no ordinary wolf. Feral, grieving, and hunted, he’s lived half his life in the wild—until fate delivers him to the only woman who can awaken the man beneath the beast. Bound by instincts neither fully understand, their connection sparks an ancient magic that could save them… or tear them apart. As Penny unravels the truth about her bloodline, she’s pulled into a hidden world of werewolves, warring legacies, and prophecy. With enemies rising and power awakening in her veins, she must decide what kind of future she’s willing to fight for. Because the forest isn’t just alive—it remembers. And it never forgets its own.

The Panther’s Bride Book Two of the Shadowbound Saga Seventeen-year-old Cinder Thorne has never wanted to be anyone’s prophecy. The daughter of Penny Voss and Elias Thorne—the wolf queen and the golden-eyed alpha—she was born under firelight and shadow, but she has only ever wanted freedom. Armed with her mother’s old camera and her grandfather’s field jacket, she leaves the safety of her pack and ventures into the African jungle, seeking the grandmother who holds the secrets of her bloodline. What she finds instead is a world alive with magic, danger, and whispers of a destiny she refuses to accept. The Panthers of the jungle have been waiting for her. And one of them—Tarek, fierce and untamed—claims she is the flame meant to awaken what was lost. Cinder doesn’t want a mate. She doesn’t want a bond. But the jungle doesn’t care what she wants. Stalked by golden eyes in the dark, tested by ancient rites, and pulled between defiance and desire, she must face the truth: some fires are not meant to be escaped. She is the Panther’s Bride. And her choice will set the Wild ablaze.
