Shattered By The Lunar King
For eleven years, Kaira Blackthorn was the girl who died. Scarred, traumatized, and imprisoned in the absolute darkness of the Underlands, she lost everything—her parents, her name, and the very spirit of her wolf. She survived by starving her soul, knowing that the monstrous hunger stirring within her would only be satisfied by chaos.
When King Aric Varyn, the ruthless and powerful Alpha of the Lunar Territories, finally finds her, he ignites a destiny neither of them can escape. Aric is the catalyst to the ancient Moon’s Mate prophecy, and his forceful, protective mate-bond rips Kaira from the darkness. But the binding touch of the Crown doesn't grant salvation; it only releases the hidden truth.
Kaira’s bloodline is not just royalty—it is a vessel.
Inside her soul lurks The Echo, a primordial entity of sentient malice, sealed centuries ago and now awakened by the King’s love. The prophecy warns Aric: the Moon’s Mate will either be the Kingdom’s greatest Luna or its absolute ruin.
The assassin who nearly kills Aric with a silver dart confirms the horrific truth: the threat is real, and the conspiracy is vast. As the Lunar King battles a venom that targets his mate-bond, his Council demands a political sacrifice. They fear Kaira’s inability to shift, they fear her trauma, and they fear the shadow in her eyes. Lord Eldrin and the conservative Alphas invoke the Purification Mandate, demanding the immediate execution of the compromised Luna.
Aric must choose: protect his people from a terrifying legend, or risk everything for the woman he is cosmically bound to.
But Kaira holds a secret more devastating than the monster within: a fresh, agonizing memory of betrayal. It was not a collapse that trapped her; it was a door sealed by the one person she trusted—her own brother, Rowan Blackthorn, who has been presumed dead for over a decade.
When Kaira’s trapped wolf, Lyra, finally awakens, she doesn’t offer comfort; she offers an ultimatum. With a flash of silver eyes and a command that echoes in the King’s soul, Lyra demands that Aric stop protecting secrets and join the hunt. The only way to starve The Echo is to pursue the truth of the original betrayal.
Now, Aric faces a political war, having sacrificed his Council’s loyalty for his Luna’s survival. Kaira is no longer a prisoner; she is a strategic lure, dressed in royal velvet, paraded before the hostile court to draw the true conspirators out of the shadows.
The hunt begins. A King and a broken Queen, bound by a dangerous love and united by the ghost of a brother. If Rowan is alive, he holds the key to the seal, the truth of the conspiracy, and the ultimate destruction of the Northern Territories.
Can Aric guide his shattered Luna toward control before the trauma and the truth free The Echo completely? Or will Kaira be forced to choose between the King who saved her and the monster that promises her revenge?
The Territory holds its breath. The silence is over. The war has begun.
