Aurora Vale has always been ordinary—until the night the moon answers her. Violent dreams. Burning marks. A city that reacts to her presence. As her body begins to change, Aurora uncovers the truth her aunt has hidden for years: her mother’s death, her bloodline, and an ancient force known as the Moon Shade—a suppressed evolutionary strain older than modern shifters, awakening for the first time in a century. Her emergence triggers the attention of the Covenant, the ruling power that governs the supernatural world. Dante, one of their most dangerous enforcers, is sent to confirm the threat—and eliminate it if necessary. Instead, he discovers a blood-recognition bond tying him to Aurora, binding duty to desire in ways neither of them can escape. As factions close in—hunters seeking her erasure, rogue packs craving her power, and the Covenant demanding control—Aurora must survive violent transformations, inherited memories, and a force within her that is sentient… and hungry. Love blooms in the shadow of extinction, but it is not safe, gentle, or guaranteed. Because the Moon Shade does not awaken to be protected. It awakens to be claimed.
