Julian, heir to a powerful dynasty, has only one escape from the crushing weight of expectation: surrendering himself to the sea and indulging his most private desires. One fateful day, his seed is swept away by a mysterious current and carried across the ocean—where, against all reason, it impregnates Nina, the werewolf queen, as she swims with her lover. The inexplicable pregnancy costs Nina her throne. Cast out by her own kind, she gives birth to Zoe, the rightful heir to the wolf bloodline. Six years later, the ancient power within Zoe spirals out of control. Desperate to find a cure, Nina infiltrates Julian’s company, only to uncover the usurper’s horrific human experiments. Unaware of the truth, Julian rescues Zoe—and is shaken to discover that the child’s heart beats in perfect harmony with his own. As their blood begins to call to one another, an extraordinary bond is revealed, drawing them into a deadly conspiracy that threatens the entire wolf clan.
