Choices... Mael has made too many bad ones under the shadow of his former master. Freed of his chains, yet emptied of purpose, Mael knows he's beyond forgiveness. A single damning call from a former lover might steer him back into doing some good, even if it ends up killing him.

Regrets... Werewolf alpha Ulfric Silverfang possesses a trunk full of them locked inside his heart. Losing his son is one of them, betraying his mate is another. When an opportunity arises for Ulfric to claim back his losses, failure isn't an option, even if that means braving a maelstrom.
