The Healer Who Mated the Alpha King

London, 1883.
Solvaine Mercer has spent ten years making herself hard to find — a half-Velthari healer with a gift that costs her everything each time she uses it, a notebook full of wrongs she cannot undo, and one rule she has never broken: never stay anywhere long enough to matter.
Then she heals a dying child in the dead of night and turns around to find the most dangerous man in the hidden world sitting in her chair.

Aldric Vane unified seven fractured wolf packs under one crown through a decade of iron will and strategy. He does not forgive. He does not forget. In thirty-five years of ruling the Velthari — Britain’s ancient secret wolf nation hidden beneath Victorian England — he has never encountered anything he could not outlast.

Until the moment the bond neither of them asked for detonates between them like a key turning in a lock she didn’t know she had.
He needs her. A plague called the Wasting Silence is dissolving his people’s wolves from the inside, and Solvaine is the only one who can stop it. She needs his protection. Someone is using an ancient curse to fracture the Velthari kingdom, and they have made clear they know exactly who she loves.

The problem is the history between them.
Seven years ago, intelligence Solvaine sold put his wolves in the ground. Three of them. He stood at their graves and made a promise. She ran and has been running since. Now she is in his court, in his debt, and close to him when the healings go wrong — and the Amarek, the ancient mate bond, does not care about what either of them deserves.

He would rewrite seven hundred years of law for her. She would stop running — for him.

But first they have to survive the conspiracy inside the Ironhold itself. First they have to trust each other. And first they have to admit that the bond is not the reason they are falling. It is only the thing that gave them permission.

Set in a hidden supernatural world beneath Victorian London, this paranormal romance delivers slow-burn tension, a morally complex heroine, and an alpha king who is far more dangerous when he is quiet.

Enemies to lovers. Fated mates. He falls first, she fights it longest.
