“Let them fear the girl who was raised to be silent—because when she learns to speak, she’ll teach the world to burn.”
—Eyleen Arsa

What if Éva didn’t choose Adam, but the Wolf?

Taken beyond the village walls by men who feared her power, Noël Arsa was meant to die. Instead, she lands in the arms of a beast.
Theron is a Volkin, a wolflike warrior with ancient blood in his veins, sacred law in his bones, and one name carved into his soul.
He claims she’s his mate, Noël says he’s delusional, and she didn’t escape one cage just to fall into another.
But fate has other plans for her.
As the forest whispers secrets of goddesses and a war long buried, Noël must rise not as a queen but as Lidéřen, the leader promised in a centuries-old prophecy.
And Theron would burn the world to keep her standing in her crown of blue roses and thorns.
This time, the daughters of Éva will not be silenced.
