Ella must protect the heir while surviving the alpha's lethal court.
Cast out and unable to shift, Ella accepts a stranger's mercy that binds her to Alpha Torin, a ruler barred by curse from touching any woman. His newborn son needs a wet nurse, so she enters his fortified keep. There, rival factions circle the infant and the untouchable leader, turning every hallway into a trap of jealousy and treachery. Ella's presence becomes the spark that could ignite open war for the succession.
