Characters

Arianna-Lynn Purcell is a young woman who looks like she couldn't hurt a fly — and uses that assumption as a weapon. A demon hunter operating in Elkhart, Indiana, she carries a gift that sets her apart from every other hunter: the ability to resurrect the dead, calling them back long enough to help her unravel the murders haunting her city. She is fierce, deeply intuitive, and carries wounds she hasn't named yet. When a deity from her forgotten past resurfaces, everything she thought she knew about herself begins to fracture.

Artemis Cage grew up believing she was ordinary. She was wrong. When a glowing-eyed shadow appears outside her window and her best friend begins to change into something monstrous, Artemis is pulled into a world of wolf packs, ancient bloodlines, and a destiny she can't outrun. She is stubborn, emotionally raw, and fiercely protective of the people she loves — even when those people are the ones keeping secrets from her. Her journey is one of identity, power, and the terrifying question of who she really is.

Oliver King is the kind of man who fills a room without trying — and watches everything from the edges of it. His luminous eyes are the first sign that something about him is not human, and the slow-burn tension between him and Artemis is built on a foundation of secrets he's been keeping for longer than she's been alive. He is protective to the point of danger, loyal to a fault, and carrying a burden that makes him both the most trustworthy and most complicated person in Artemis's orbit.

Da'Vina Daciana is a special wolf — and she doesn't yet understand how special. After watching her entire kingdom destroyed, she is taken captive and forced to serve as an omega until her eighteenth birthday. What her captor doesn't know is that Da'Vina's wolf carries a secret powerful enough to change the course of history. She is quiet in the way that storms are quiet before they break — and when she finally understands what she is, nothing will be able to hold her.

Rae thought she'd gotten out. She built a life outside the criminal empire her father ran, put distance between herself and the violence, and told herself it was enough. Then she's dragged back in — and learns the truth she was never meant to know. She isn't just Viper's daughter. She's his heir. Now every enemy wants her blood, every ally wants her loyalty, and the only man she trusts is Ghost — the lethal enforcer who swore he'd never fall for anyone. Rae is sharp, guarded, and carrying a legacy more dangerous than she ever imagined.

When the forest's ancient crown shatters and the world begins to unravel, the dying magic binds itself to Aria — marking her as the first anchor in history who wasn't born of power but of choice. She never asked for this. She doesn't know if she's strong enough for it. But the Court of Mirrors is hunting her, the old magic is speaking in her mind, and the only person she can trust is Rowan — the guardian sworn to destroy what she's become. In a world built on obedience, Aria's greatest act of rebellion might be learning to believe in herself.
