About the Book
"Every queen before you has failed. Every queen before you has died. Do you still wish to try?"
Aurelia never feared the wild—until it started hunting her.
As the Bear Queen, Aurelia has earned the loyalty of her people and the unwavering love of her mate, King Arktos. But when an ancient prophecy begins to unravel, whispers of a monstrous beast stalking the kingdom’s borders threaten everything they’ve built. A creature of legend, unseen for centuries, has returned—and the only one who can stop it is Aurelia herself.
Forced to embark on a sacred hunt that no queen before her has survived, Aurelia must venture deep into the untamed wilderness, where old magic stirs and long-buried secrets wait to be uncovered. But the deeper she goes, the more she realizes this is no ordinary hunt. The creature she tracks is far more than just a beast… and the truth of its existence could tear her kingdom apart.
To end the hunt, Aurelia must make an impossible choice: kill the monster and save her people—or break the curse and risk losing herself forever.
