In a kingdom where witches are executed, Arabella hides a deadly secret—her cursed touch can heal or kill. Forced to serve a rebellion while longing for forbidden love, she risks everything when the ruthless Witch Hunter prince turns his suspicion—and desire—on her. Caught between betrayal, passion, and survival, will her secret destroy her or save them all?
I am a secret every werewolf would kill for. A human with cursed witch powers. With a single touch, I can heal—or drain the life from someone I love. If my pack discovers what I am, the Witch Hunter prince will execute me without hesitation.
I try to hide, to smother the storm inside me, but the Alpha forces me to use my powers for the rebellion against our king. Every time I obey, I lose another piece of myself.
Julian, my best friend, is the only person I’ve ever wanted to touch without fear. But when the prince himself comes to our pack, suspicion burns in his gaze…and something darker, hungrier, that I can’t ignore.
The hunt is on, and I’m the prey. If I can’t master my magic, I’ll lose more than my life—I’ll lose my heart.
