An exiled wolf shifter. The scientist who engineered his curse. One ancient temple hidden in the Oregon wilderness.
Kael Redwater is a rogue Alpha carrying the genetic ghost of an extinct predator. After fifteen years in the shadows, his "Bloodmark" has activated as a glowing beacon, drawing corporate hunters to his pack's doorstep. He must reach a primal power source in the Cascades before the ancient consciousness inside him erases his humanity for good.
Dr. Su Ting Chen is the elite geneticist who designed the Apex Project. Hunted by the very corporation she served, she carries the only data that can stabilize Kael's transformation. To atone for her past, she must follow the monster she created into the abyss—or watch him become a vessel for an unstoppable force.
Helix BioSystems has deployed "Ascension" armored troops to harvest Kael's genetic code. As the pack retreats into the heart of a bone-carved temple, Kael and Su Ting must anchor their souls through a forbidden bond, or the facility will be "purged" with them inside.
Feral tension. High-stakes corporate espionage. A soul-searing fated mates connection that defies scientific logic.
