OH. MY. GOD. I AM OBSESSED WITH THIS BOOK!!!

I finished it yesterday, and I still can’t stop thinking about it. It’s that freaking good! Every single thing about this book had me hooked—from the characters to the tension to the intricate plot twists.

Let’s start with Meryn. She’s headstrong, beautiful, and fiercely determined to save her sister. I adored her resilience and the way she never backed down. Her mother? I knew something was off, but I couldn’t quite put my finger on it. There were so many subtle hints sprinkled throughout, and when everything clicked into place—mind blown.

And then there’s Prince Killian… I won’t spoil anything, but trust me, you need to read this book to find out.

But Stark??? Oh. My. God. He is so freaking hot. The tension between him and Meryn is insane—and they don’t even kiss! He’s brooding, intense, and the definition of an alpha, sworn to protect the royal family. He spends most of the book angry, but when his emotions finally break through… my heart. I felt everything.

The story itself kept me on edge the whole time. The bonded trials, castle secrets, and direwolves (which are like wolves, but way bigger) added so much depth. I was so immersed that I felt like I was living in the book. And despite its length, I never wanted it to end—I loved every detailed moment.

Meryn’s interactions with Anassa were both hilarious and heartwarming, and I loved how their friendship mirrored each other. The twins, the shifting pack dynamics, the slow unraveling of secrets—everything about this book just worked.

This story has permanently claimed a place in my heart, and I am desperate for the next book. It’s easily one of my top-tier reads, and I highly, highly recommend it. Just go. Get it. Read it. You won’t regret it.
