What the Mark Knows

“The summons arrives on a Tuesday: attorney Nia has been legally declared the mate of the feral wolf who bit her in a holding cell last week. In a city where every fated bond is licensed as a co-leadership contract, a Luna is property, and Nia has spent her career fighting that law. Kade says he bit her to save her, not to claim her, and the stolen file in his coat suggests he is telling the truth. Together they pull at a thread that leads into the heart of the Registry itself, where mate bonds can be manufactured and Lunas can be installed. But the bond between them is real, and it is getting louder. To free every mated pair in the city, Nia must put her own bond on trial. What will she have to become to win? Place and Time: A walled megacity in 2041, where registered werewolf packs are confined to green-belt territories and the Luna Registry court licenses every fated bond.”
