The champagne tastes like ash as Luna watches her husband bid a fortune on another woman's jewelry—right in front of the entire pack. Their arranged marriage was supposed to save his dying territory, but Kennard has made it clear she's nothing more than a political inconvenience compared to his precious beta secretary. For three years, she's endured the whispers, the humiliation, and the slow death of hope that he might one day see her as more than a duty. But when a dangerous threat emerges that only Luna's hidden bloodline can stop, Kennard will finally realize what he's been throwing away. Some bonds, once broken, can never be mended—and some Lunas refuse to be anyone's ruin but their own.
