Aurora Toussaint has always seen herself as the protector. The rational one. The steady friend. But ever since the night of the vampire ball, nothing in her life has felt steady—not her memories, not her body, and definitely not the fate-bound pull toward a man with secrets of his own.
Secrets surface. Power stirs. And fate begins to demand what it’s owed.
Aurora is forced to confront the truth: she is not who she thought she was. Theo—the man she finally let herself love—isn’t who he believed either. And worst of all, her soul is fractured.
To survive, Aurora must navigate a world stitched with shadow and sacrifice. As wolves close in and fate threads tighten, she’ll have to decide what it means to belong—and what she’s willing to risk to protect the people she loves.
This isn’t the end of her story.
Because some threads can only be woven in darkness.
