Heir of the forbidden
In a world where hybrids are cursed and forbidden, Cassie's very existence is a crime punishable by death.
Born of a werewolf mother and a vampire father, Cassie's bloodline is a dangerous secret. Vampires were once the terror of the supernatural world—predators who fed on werewolves and nearly brought them to extinction. But they were driven out of the bayou years ago, thanks to the alliance between the powerful wizard Zed and the legendary Alpha Garon of the Crescent Pack.
Now, peace is fragile. Alpha Garon's time is ending, and his son Lucas must take his place. But Lucas hides a shameful truth: he cannot produce an heir. His only hope is to make a desperate bargain with his exiled former wife—the same woman he cast out for loving a vampire. She must return, and with her, the daughter he once denied. Cassie must pose as his trueborn child, or his claim to the title will crumble.
But secrets have a way of unraveling.
Cassie is enrolled in the community school where young wolves train to take their place in the pack. Unlike them, she struggles to shift—her vampire side resisting the call of the moon. And the political tensions only rise when the rival Greyjoy Pack, led by the ruthless Alpha Elijah, sees an opportunity to seize power.
Elijah's son, Karl—two years older, fiercely trained, and loyal to his family—has one mission: win Cassie's heart, uncover her family's secrets, and destroy her legacy from the inside.
But fate plays its own game.
As Cassie and Karl fall for each other, their forbidden love threatens to ignite a war. Torn between loyalty and love, power and peace, they must decide if their bond is strong enough to unite their warring worlds—or doomed to tear them apart.
Will Cassie survive the truth? Or will the forbidden hybrid bring ruin to everything she loves?
