Killed once for a child deemed “low-born,” Princess Lydia returns to the mate ceremony with her memory of death burning clear. Darian has also come back—and this time he turns to Mirelle, chasing after a royal heir instead. Branded a Black Wolf and forced out, Lydia buys Markless Evan and bears his son. Then awakening night shatters everything: Mirelle’s praised “Golden Mark” pup is exposed as low-born, Lydia’s child rises as the true First Wolf, and Evan’s ancient bloodline awakens. With Darian defeated, Lydia takes the throne and ends the rule of blood and caste.
