Beneath the disguise

“He was bred for war. Caged like a beast. Until she walked in. Aria is no one-just a servant girl hiding in plain sight, disguised as a boy to survive the ruthless world of wolves who see human women as nothing but prey. But when she discovers the kingdom's most dangerous secret-a feral lycan locked in chains, his power feared even by kings-everything changes. He sees through her disguise. Smells her fear. And craves her fire. When Aria risks everything to help him escape, he doesn't thank her. He takes her. Claimed her as his mate with a single, searing bite and mated with her, unleashing a storm of power that could bring the entire kingdom to its knees. Now they're on the run, hunted by an alpha who will burn the world to get his weapon back. But the real war is just beginning-and this time, the beast isn't the one in chains.”
