What if the villain won? Under the rule of a powerful mage who shapes the world to suit his desires, very little has changed in the last thousand years... until now.
Ever since Destiny saw a child dragged away for possessing magic, she’s self-isolated, terrified that someone will find out she shares that same magic. Until the night she meets Vida, a beautiful fae whose kiss sparks something inside her, and Destiny chooses to leave home, joining Vida and her family.
She's not expecting Vida's family to be a werewolf pack. Or that they'll be so welcoming— she was told werewolves are monsters, after all. She's definitely not expecting them to become her own family. But when Destiny begins to change, it's the wolves who accept him for who he is. And it's the wolves who are the first to see Destiny's magic and swear to protect them, no matter what.
But the werewolves hide a dark secret. They are spies, rebels working to overthrow the god-king who protects Illustria from people like Destiny. And they want Destiny to join them.
It will be difficult. It will be dangerous. It might be Destiny’s path to their true self.
