For three years, Selene has been a ghost in the Alpha's bed—a shadow substitute for her fragile Lady, touched in total darkness but never claimed. When she's threatened with a fate worse than servitude, she volunteers for a death sentence instead: a Spirit Bond with Lucian, the pack's cursed, dying heir. But the "corpse" she's meant to mourn has sharp eyes and a softer heart than his warrior brother. As Lucian fights to live and Selene learns to feel, she must decide if she's trading one cage for another. He was supposed to be her sacrifice. He became her salvation. But when old chains tighten, will he learn to love… or learn to let go?
