She disguised herself as a man to escape a forced marriage. She never expected the academy's most dangerous alpha to fall for the secret underneath the mask.
Lyra Vale has one choice left: marry the ruthless noble who purchased her family's ruined name, or disappear. She chooses to disappear — cutting her hair, lowering her voice, and enrolling at Werewolf Academy under her twin brother's identity, determined to uncover the truth behind her family's downfall before anyone discovers what she's hiding.
Darius Fenrir, the academy's undefeated alpha heir, notices her the moment she walks into the Great Hall. Something about her doesn't add up — her scent, her fighting style, the way she never once flinches from him the way everyone else does. He tells himself it's simple curiosity. It isn't.
As Lyra digs deeper into her family's past, she uncovers a conspiracy reaching into the academy's own leadership, one that could destroy everything she came here to protect. And as Darius's obsession with the mystery beneath her disguise turns into something he can't rationalize away, both of them will have to decide how much they're willing to risk, for the truth, for each other, and for a secret that could cost Lyra everything the moment it comes to light.
A slow-burn, forbidden fantasy romance about identity, power, and the terrifying freedom of finally being seen for exactly who you are.
