Ivy sacrificed her true name and seven years of her Moonflame, risking everything on a Crown Oath to save the dying Noah—betting her entire bloodline power on the day they would rule the Council side by side. But at the investiture feast, Noah tore up their marriage contract before everyone, turning to ally with the noblewoman Eve in exchange for territorial armies—seizing Ivy’s Moonflame and beast soul, and casting her, stripped of everything, into utter ruin. Her collarbone brand shattered, her soul ravaged by backlash, Ivy fled for her life through a rain-soaked night—until Ronan, the dangerously powerful ruler of the Blackwood domain, glimpsed the buried truth of her royal bloodline.
