She knows the ice better than anyone.

Yarrow has spent her life as the quiet ice-reader of Marrow Glass, useful to the pack but never truly seen. She reads the black frozen lake, marks the safe paths, and keeps herself unnoticed because in her world, being wanted is the first step toward being owned.

Then Kestrel Roan arrives as the new Alpha.

He is powerful, dangerous, and expected to prove himself through the Long Hunt, an ancient pack rite where one person is named Quarry and hunted across the frozen lake. To the Ring, the hunt is tradition. To Yarrow, it is a warning. To Kestrel, it is a brutal test he refuses to accept without questioning the truth behind it.

But when Yarrow is named as his Quarry, the game becomes deadly.

The pack wants him to catch her. The Ring wants to break them both. And the frozen lake becomes the only place where freedom, power, and desire can be decided.

Yarrow does not want to be claimed.
Kestrel does not want to own her.
But between the hunt, the ice, and the dangerous pull growing between them, one choice could change the pack forever.

Perfect for readers who crave fierce heroines, brooding Alpha protectors, dangerous pack politics, slow-burn tension, and shifter romance where love must be chosen, not taken.
