Kieran Vrost is the last of his kind—an ancient Lycan feared by all and hunted for a crime he swears he didn't commit. Accused of slaughtering the powerful Silverfang Pack, Kieran is dragged in chains before the Alpha High Court, where his former mate, Liana, now stands as his prosecutor. The evidence is damning: his scent at the crime scene, his fur in the wounds, and a dying witness naming him as the killer.

But Kieran knows the truth—he's being framed by something far worse than a wolf.

As the trial unfolds, jurors begin dying one by one. Whispers slither through the courthouse walls. A deadly force is watching, waiting, and wearing a familiar face. The deeper Kieran digs, the more he uncovers secrets that could destroy the entire shifter world.

A forbidden creature long thought extinct is back—and it's already inside the court.

Can Kieran prove his innocence before the verdict falls?

Or has the real monster already won?

When justice is hunted, who will survive the truth?
