Arin Lance has spent his entire life hiding a secret gift-the power to heal with a simple touch. His ability is a rare and forbidden magic that could make him either a savior or a target, and he's learned to survive by keeping others at a distance. His days blur together in work and quiet solitude until one brutal night changes everything.
When an attack exposes Arin's gift to forces he never knew existed, he's thrust into a hidden world of ancient rivalries-where werewolves rule from the shadows, magic is both a weapon and a curse, and an organization known as the Covenant hunts those with similar abilities. Caught between power and danger, Arin discovers his ability is the opposite of a blessing-it's a beacon.
At his side stands Kael, a brooding Alpha werewolf bound by duty and haunted by loss. His vow to protect his pack clashes with the instinctive pull he feels toward Arin, a connection that defies logic and burns with forbidden intensity. But, as secrets unravel and alliances fracture, Arin begins to question who he can trust-and whether the one sworn to protect him might be the one fated to destroy him.
