The Heir Who Shouldn’t Love Me

Moonfell crowns its darlings and buries its Lowline-but Mara Ilyas refuses to bow. When the city's cold-blooded heir, Cael, unlocks a bond his wolf cannot deny, a forbidden pull ignites between dungeon bars and rain-slick streets. Trials of glasswalkers, whispered marks, and lantern-season politics force them from enemies to something far more dangerous-chosen.

With Aster's stubborn light in Mara's chest and Rhun's growl under Cael's skin, every touch risks a war the Wardens can't control. Secrets ring like bells across the river as power shifts, debts come due, and a found family flickers into flame.

The moon was never caged-only waiting for someone to listen.
