💔 Survival isn't victory when you're fighting for your soul. 💔

We were trained to be warriors—loyal, unbreakable, unafraid.

But none of us were prepared for the mist.

It came from the sea, swallowing the shore in darkness.

And in that chaos, I watched Austin die. My mate... or was he? His last words still haunt me.

Now I'm a captive in a land ruled by fae—forced into deadly Trials alongside my two closest friends. We're told to fight for glory, but the truth is simpler: only one of us will live.

My sponsor, **Kaleb—the Alpha King of the Glades—**isn't like the others. Half fae, half wolf, and bound to serve a cruel king, he's the only thing standing between me and certain death. But even he can't protect me from the magic that dulls what wolves feel... or the betrayal waiting in our own ranks.

When allies become enemies and freedom demands blood, I'll have to decide who I can trust—and who I'm willing to lose—

before the Trials claim us all.

✨ Book 16 in the bestselling Alpha King's Breeder series—where loyalty is tested, love is dangerous, and the fae realm hides deadly secrets. ✨
