Story Notes

Summary

In the wild heart of Tudor Ireland, a hunter becomes the hunted when the alpha she wounded claims her as his own. Aisling has spent years tracking werewolves through mist-shrouded forests, her silver blade thirsting for the blood of the beasts who destroyed her family. But when she finally corners a massive alpha beneath the blood moon, their violent encounter ends not in death—but in a bite that changes everything. Cian has watched her from the shadows for years, fighting an obsession that threatens to consume him. The fierce hunter with winter-blue eyes and a heart full of vengeance calls to something primal in his soul—something he's crossed oceans to escape. When she wounds him in their first clash, he makes a choice that will damn them both: he claims her, marking her as his mate whether she wills it or not. Torn from everything she's ever known, Aisling awakens to a world of heightened senses and dangerous hungers. Her body burns with new strength, her blood sings with wolf-song, and worst of all—she craves the very creature she once swore to destroy. As rogue wolves tear through the Irish countryside and ancient pack loyalties fracture, she must choose between the human life she's lost and the wild destiny calling her name. But in Cian's arms, between fury and desire, Aisling discovers that some hunts end not with death—but with surrender to a passion as inevitable as the rising moon. A dark tale of enemies-to-lovers, forced transformation, and the thin line between hunter and prey, set against the backdrop of mystical Ireland where old gods still whisper through the trees.
