My rare white fur made me valuable enough to bargain with—and expendable enough to sacrifice. When my pack needs to broker peace with our ancient enemies, I'm the one they offer up, a hostage bride sent to live among wolves who have every reason to hate me. The Shadow Ridge Pack's alpha is as cold as the mountain they claim, and his beta watches me like I'm a threat waiting to strike. They say I'm here to prevent a war, but I can feel the tension coiling tighter each day, and I'm starting to suspect my pack sent me here for reasons far darker than diplomacy. In a den of enemies where one wrong move could mean my death, I'll have to decide whether to remain the obedient pawn—or become the player who changes the game entirely.
