Chained to the Wolf Prince

In the slums of Dawnridge, humans dream small. A full stomach. A warm bed. A single golden petal drifting through the Spring Union Parade, said to promise true love before the following spring.

Zaria has stopped believing in fairy tales, yet she searches for the petal every year because hope is difficult to kill.

Beyond Dawnridge's crumbling streets, hatred between humans and wolf-shifters continues to spread, weakening the kingdom against flesh-ripping rotfangs, child-stealing skullcrows and rebels determined to watch both species destroy one another.

With his father bedridden and the kingdom becoming increasingly unstable, Crown Prince Cassius is forced to assume royal responsibilities. Cold, ruthless and fiercely loyal to his own kind, Cassius believes humans and wolf-shifters should remain separated.

What he does not expect is Zaria.

Betrayed and falsely accused of murder, they are both condemned to Black Marrow Hold, where prisoners are starved, brutalised and worked until they collapse. Confined to neighbouring cells and chained together each day for punishing labour, Zaria and Cassius must overcome their hatred and learn to trust one another if they are to survive.

As bitter arguments give way to reluctant understanding and forbidden attraction, the iron binding their wrists is no longer the only force holding them together.

Because some chains are stronger than iron, and some fates refuse to be broken.
