Maelis Thornquill has spent eighteen years pretending she is ordinary. No claws. No wolf. Just a hollow ache that rises with every full moon.
Then a letter arrives, warm to the touch and sealed in black wax, summoning her to Ravenmoor Academy, a hidden school where every student is a shifter and every secret has teeth.
The pack sees a weak little omega. Isaura Blackmere sees a threat. And Corvin Hadrathorne, the dark, dangerous alpha heir who growls at her in corridors and warns her to leave by sunrise, sees something far worse: his fated mate.
He swears he will never claim her. The bond that killed his father will not kill him. But the moon is turning red, a silver mark is burning on Maelis's wrist, and someone has been writing to her in blood.
Her mother vanished the last time the Blood Moon rose. Now the school is hiding a ritual beneath its chapel, a dead alpha who isn't dead, and a power that has waited five centuries for a lost wolf to answer its call.
Some bonds are fated. Some are forbidden. And some will devour everything in their path.
When the moon bleeds, she calls her children home.
