Only the worthy survive the Bonding Trials. She'll risk her life—and her heart—to be one of them…
In the realm of Nocturna, perpetually at war, humans lucky enough to bond with powerful direwolves are forced into brutal gladiatorial battles.

Only the victors earn the right to join the king's army as his elite warriors—the Bonded.
Meryn has made peace with her life scraping by in poverty in the shadows of the castle. But when her sister is kidnapped across the border by the enemy, Meryn's world falls apart. Desperate to cross the front and save her sister, Meryn enlists in the army—only to discover that there are Bonding Trials this year, where all soldiers are forced to risk their lives in an attempt to connect with a direwolf. It's too late to turn back; Meryn is thrown into the deadly competition against her will.

Now, she'll need to survive the next four months of training at the castle if she wants a chance of finding her sister. Everything here is a test, from the brutal classes where one mistake means death, to the glittering court parties where every smile hides a knife. To make things worse, Meryn is bound to a feral direwolf who refuses to communicate. The other trainees would love to spill her common blood. And her gorgeous instructor, Stark Therion, is as malicious as the wolves.
Everyone is out to get her—everyone but the dangerously handsome crown prince, Killian Valtiere. The more time Meryn spends with Killian, the more of a target she becomes. But the castle is hiding dark secrets…and the stakes are higher than Meryn ever imagined.
