They called me Ashclaw, the pack's forgotten orphan. For ten years, I served the Alpha's family, believing my fated mate would honor his promise. But on our mating ceremony, he rejected me before the entire pack for a political alliance. As he sneered, "A mere orphan is not worthy of me," I didn't cry. I smiled. And opened the encrypted file that held all their secrets. The hunt for my vengeance began that night.

Five years I took the fall for him. Five years, I dreamed of coming home to my family. Now I'm out, and my husband has a new wife, my house has new locks, and my daughter is the centerpiece of a deadly ritual to buy his way into high society. The wolf they caged is back, and this time, she's hunting for blood.

“A woman cannot lead a pack,” my father, Alpha Darious Nightbane, declared coldly, standing before the gathered Council and warriors at the final trial of the Heir Selection Ceremony.I stood, breathless and bloodied, having just defeated the last of the contenders in front of a crowd that expected a new leader to rise. I had won. Fairly. Decisively.But it didn’t matter. Not to him.In my wolf form, I had towered over the last fallen candidate, my claws pressed firmly to his throat, not enough to kill, but enough to make him submit. The crowd had fallen silent, every gaze locked onto me.

A young woman raised among dragon shifters is violently taken to a magical mirror world, where she discovers she is the king’s illegitimate daughter. Forced to compete in a deadly tournament under a glamoured identity, she must navigate court intrigue, royal hostility, and lethal trials while hiding her true self.With only a guarded drake as her ally, she fights to survive a queen who wants her dead, uncovering dark secrets about her past and the kingdom’s decaying magic. Her journey is one of survival, self-discovery, and defiance in a world where appearances are everything and trust is a luxury she cannot afford.
