Synopsis
She burned a world to build peace. Now the fire inside her wants to finish the job. Alpha Herja Falkenberg ended the centuries-long war between Sun and Moon wolves with one act of impossible power—an act that cursed her. The Sun inside her has begun to eat its host, and with every pulse of light, the world cracks a little more. Her only chance to stop it lies in Brand Hartmann , the Moon-Wolf prince she conquered, caged, and can’t seem to silence inside her head. His calm can tether her fire. His hatred might also kill her. But as the rift spreads and the last fortress fills with enemies who call her savior and monster in the same breath, Herja must decide what kind of Alpha she wants to the one who dies alone to save them all, or the one who lets herself be loved enough to live. A dark, emotional epic where enemies become anchors, gods break to become human, and love is the last law that still holds. Perfect for readers of Carissa Broadbent, Sarah J. Maas, and Danielle L. Jensen who 🔥 Morally gray Alphas 🌒 Enemies-to-lovers with cosmic stakes 💔 Slow-burn redemption and explosive heat ⚔️ Apocalyptic high fantasy with intimate soul-core romance
