When war erupts between humans and werewolves, a princess finds herself torn between duty and desire. 
 
On the eve of her wedding, Princess Aurora spares the life of a young werewolf at a brutal dog fight, catching the eye of a powerful alpha, Callum. 
 
That night, the alpha escapes and kidnaps Aurora, whisking her away to the rugged lands north of the border, where the once-warring Wolf clans are beginning to unite. Callum believes she is the key to their victory against the humans. 
 
As they send time together, a forbidden attraction starts to grow. Just when Aurora learns not all Wolves are bad, Callum discovers that she is in danger from both his enemies and those he once considered friends. 
 
With monsters on both sides and a bloodthirsty war between humans and Wolves raging, will their story end in love or tragedy? And will Aurora ever get home? 
 
Does she even want to?

The Wolf King

Sable Sorensen

Fourth Wing meets The Hunger Games in this spicy, page-turning romantasy where humans and direwolves forge unbreakable bonds and fight for survival at all costs. 
 
Only the worthy survive the Bonding Trials. She’ll risk her life - and her heart - to be one of them. 
 
Meryn Cooper has always hated the Bonded, elite warriors who form mental links with the massive, vicious direwolves they ride. While they live in luxury, Meryn struggles to keep her family out of poverty. When her little sister, Saela, is kidnapped - stolen across the border by the immortal monsters her country has spent centuries fighting - Meryn’s world falls apart. 
 
Desperate to cross the front and save her sister, Meryn enlists in the army and is thrown into the deadly Bonding Trials, where any mistake will cost her life. 
 
Now Meryn must survive four months of training at the castle. She is bound to a feral direwolf who refuses to communicate. The other trainees would love to spill her common blood. And her cold and beautiful instructor, Stark Therion, is eager to punish any weakness. 
 
Everything is a competition, and everyone is out to get her - everyone except the dangerously handsome crown prince, whose attention adds another target to her back. In the castle, every smile hides a knife … and the halls hide dark secrets. 
 
It’s bond or bleed. Duel or die. Failure is ruin.

Dire Bound

‘Let me have you. Just once. Please.’ 
 
As dark forces rise, Princess Aurora is caught between two powerful alphas fighting for the throne. 
 
Princess Aurora may have survived the Wolf King, but his bite marks her skin. In accordance with Wolf law, that makes her his property. Now, he wants her back. 
 
To beat him and take his throne, Aurora and Callum must form a dangerous alliance with one of the most feared Wolves in the Kingdom, Blake. He is their enemy, but he has entangled his life with Aurora’s – meaning she cannot harm him without forfeiting her own life. 
 
As she fights to break their connection, she suspects Blake is keeping secrets about a dark power in the north, and the bond between them. There is a bigger game at play than who sits on the Wolf Throne – one that threatens both the Kingdom of Wolves and the Kingdom of Men. 
 
With enemies closing in, Aurora may be the only one who can stop an ancient evil from rising – if she can figure out who to trust. 
 
To survive, she must decide where she – and her heart – belong.
