Five wolves. Five bloodlines so rare they were supposed to be myths. One organization that has spent forty years trying to make sure they stay that way. Mona has spent seventeen years making herself invisible in her own home. Neve has been managed and maneuvered by a stepmother who fears what she is. Rune has never once walked out her own front door. Briar cannot touch anyone without calculating the risk. Mira knows more about the world than almost anyone alive and has experienced almost none of it. They don't know each other yet. They don't know what's coming. But the Hollow Court does, and it has been hunting them since before they were born. This is a series about what happens when the thing you were told to be afraid of turns out to be the most you have ever felt like yourself. About gifts that were supposed to be curses. About the people who stay in the thorns, sit on the floor for eight days, press their hands against bark in the dark, and show up without being asked. About five women who were each handed a fairy tale designed to keep them small, and what they built from the ruins of it. Found family. Slow burns. Bonds that don't ask you to be less. And a wolf world that will never look the same after they're done with it. The fire was always there. They were just finally done holding it down.

"Before my beast consumes me completely—I need a son to take the throne." Too bad for him…I'm not the weak, pathetic girl they threw away. I'm something far more dangerous —the one woman who can break his curse… or break his kingdom.

"Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her d*mn fiancé. Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now-billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn't mind. I'd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one? Wrong. One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That's when it hit me-he didn't love me. He didn't even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn't even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup. So I slapped him right back, dumped his *ss, and prepared for disaster-my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise. Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol. Enter him. Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I'd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes. It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised. But it was also: Best. S*x. Of. My. Life. And, as it turned out, the best decision I'd ever made. Because my one-night stand isn't just some random guy. He's richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with. And now, he's not letting me go."
