Three years of love turned to lies. A Luna’s destiny shattered. Grieving a stolen child and scars that run deeper than skin, I made my choice: escape the pack or die in their grip. My revenge will be as fierce as the beast within me.

Hiding from my pack, I served the ruthless Lycan King. His offer was simple—one night in exchange for saving lives. But one night became a battle of hearts, and I can’t lose again—not even to love.

***
For three years, I waited to become the perfect Luna for my pack, to give the Alpha an heir.

Three years of lies, of being the outsider in someone else’s love story.

Three years of grieving the loss of my baby and plotting revenge against the man who disfigured my face and ruined my womb. I had two choices: die at the hands of my own pack or escape and survive. I chose to hide and live.

The Lycan King, Fenrir Lycros—the most bloodthirsty, ruthless ruler to ever lead the werewolves with an iron fist—made me his personal maid. It was the most dangerous role I could have, where even the slightest mistake could cost me my life. But no one from my past would think to look for me here.

“Always be submissive, don’t speak unless spoken to, don’t listen, don’t see anything, don’t disturb the Lycan or you will die,” were the simple rules I followed. I thought I was doing well—until one day, the King made me an offer I couldn’t refuse.

“Do you want me to save those people? Then give yourself to me tonight. Be my woman. I desire you, and I know you feel the same. Just once, Raven, only once…”

But it wasn’t just once. Passion turned into something deeper, something neither of us could deny. That cold, untamable man had somehow conquered my heart as well.

However, when the past returned to haunt me and the truth about my birth came to light, I faced another choice: run from the Lycan King or wait for his mercy.

“I’m sorry, but this time, I won’t lose my pups again—not even for you, Fenrir Lycros.”

The Selenias are an ancient and mystical lineage, born from the divine blessing of the Goddess Juno herself. As protectors of balance between light and darkness, they are tethered to the moon's celestial power, their very existence intertwined with its cycles.

If you're drawn to dark, steamy fantasy romances brimming with Selenia, werewolves, Lycans, Specters, vampires, shadows, darkness, and also with humor, action, suspense, mystery, and tension, featuring a fierce heroine, Shadow and Lycan is the story for you.
