A cursed lake, inherited sins, and a tightening web of secrets converge as one boy is forced to confront what lies beneath the water—and what the town has tried to forget.

Paul Apollyon sees flashes of the future, yet he can’t predict Alastair Gow bursting into his public house and desperately asking for a place to hide.

Alastair wants to use the cellar, to be precise: a totally normal request from a man who looks like a dashing pirate out of a storybook.

But perhaps there isn’t anything to say to a charming stranger asking to hide in your cellar but yes—and with that, Paul is drawn into sweet intrigue.

Sacrificed as a bride in her spoiled sister's place to satisfy the terms of a treaty between her pack and the Alpha who murdered her brother, twenty-four-year-old Selene Beaumont doesn't expect to survive the night. As a wolfless pack servant, what chance does she have against a monster like Killian Darrow, the only living heir of the depraved Alpha King?

But when he touches her, it echoes in her soul, and Killian changes from monster to man. It seems the Alpha of Shattered Moon is secretly cursed, not the mate-murdering beast everyone has painted him to be.Sacrificed as a bride in her spoiled sister's place to satisfy the terms of a treaty between her pack and the Alpha who murdered her brother, twenty-four-year-old Selene Beaumont doesn't expect to survive the night.

But when he touches her, it echoes in her soul, and Killian changes from monster to man. It seems the Alpha of Shattered Moon is secretly cursed, not the mate-murdering beast everyone has painted him to be.

Killian prefers to keep those he loves at a safe distance, but for Selene to unlock the mystery of his curse, he has to keep her close. Very close. In his bed, skin-to-skin, or the monster rears its ugly head.

Not everyone wants Killian free, or to see a wolfless woman married to the most powerful Alpha in a generation. When allies turn to enemies and old secrets stir, Killian and Selene will learn that nothing and no one is what it seems, not even themselves.

Despite their differences, they can’t resist each other. But falling in love won’t just cost their lives—if they aren’t careful, it will plunge half a continent back into war.
