The Lycan King's Forbidden Mate: A Fated Mates Fantasy Romance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9782284369332)

She was declared dead before she could speak her own name. He is the king whose one word rewrote the law.

Seraine Vael has survived by staying invisible. Unregistered. Uncounted. A ghost living in the cracks of a world that erased her at birth. As a mortuary scribe in the volcanic citadel of Virelion Reach, she keeps her head down and her wolf quiet - until the night the Ash King enters a crowded hall and speaks a single word that changes everything.

Mate.

King Aer'nyx Thaelgor has ruled the Dominions with cold precision. He does not bow to law - he is the law. But the bond that locks onto Seraine is older than any crown, older than the council that now demands her execution, and older than the secret buried in the Pale Archives that someone powerful erased long ago.

Protecting her means defying the Veil-Laws that hold the Dominions together. It means breaking seals that were never meant to be opened. It means choosing truth over the throne he built his entire life to protect.

But Seraine isn't looking to be saved. She's looking for the answer to a question that should have gotten her killed years ago: Why was she erased?

The answer will demand everything - from both of them.
