The woman hiding beneath a red cloak, murdering his wolf pack one by one. Until he captures her. But Prince Winter won’t end her life just yet. That death would be too easy after the damage she’s done. Sterling must first become a spectacle worthy of her crimes and play in his deadly games. If she survives, he will do with her as he pleases.
