Sera investigates forged records and poisoned evidence to find her father's killer.
Julian severs their mate bond to shield his pregnant lover Vanessa and ships Sera north as tribute to Ronan, the Blackridge Wolf King. At Frostfang Fortress she speaks the name Nain, and the dreaded monarch kneels before her and tens of thousands of riders. With his legions behind her, Sera traces intercepted letters, drugged evidence, and falsified bloodlines to uncover who orchestrated her father's death. The trail leads to Richard, the White Oak Wolf King, whose corruption she exposes through trade ledgers and military payroll fraud, sparking mass defections.
