About this ebook
The bond is brutal: every wound, every surge of rage or desire, bleeds between them. Lyra feels Cassian’s centuries of grief; Cassian tastes Lyra’s terror of becoming someone’s pet. Worse, the bond awakens secrets neither expected, Lyra’s dormant bloodline hints she may not be entirely human, and Cassian’s wolf recognizes her as something it has waited lifetimes to find.
Hunting them is the Hollow Moon, a doomsday cult convinced Cassian is the “last true alpha” whose mating with a human will unleash lunar apocalypse. They will kill Lyra or force the mating, whichever triggers prophecy first. As the pair are shoved into relentless proximity, rooftop pursuits beneath blood-red moons and desperate safehouses ignite a connection neither wants to name. Lyra learns Cassian’s beast isn’t mindless evil; it’s broken, mourning the pack it destroyed. Cassian discovers Lyra’s defiance hides a heart that could either save or doom them both.
To survive, they must outrun cult assassins, treacherous black-market mages, and the mating bond pulling them closer every hour. Breaking the curse might free Cassian to die as he wishes, but it could also kill Lyra, or awaken something far older and more dangerous in her veins. Enemies become reluctant allies, then something neither can deny, racing toward a ritual night where they must choose: sever the Leash and lose each other forever, or accept the prophecy and possibly end the world.
