Kira Blackthorne has spent ten years as a rogue, surviving on scraps and dealing with the crushing weight of her sister's death. That day, her father looked at her with dead eyes and asked, "Why did she die but not you?" The Alpha's daughter had everything before that day.
Mira, who was seven years old, drowned in the banned river while Kira stood there and did nothing. Eighteen-year-old Kira ran away because she felt guilty and her father had turned her down. There, she learned how to live as the worst kind of outlaw—hounded, hated, and broken.
In a cruel turn of events, on her 28th birthday, she finds out that her mate is Zander Nightfall, the most feared Alpha in five regions. Even though Zander saved Kira from bad hunters, he doesn't care about her at all and won't even touch her, even though she is desperately trying to prove she deserves his love.
But when Zander brings home another woman who looks and sounds like Mira and remembers things from seven years ago, Kira's world falls apart again. In front of her, her dead sister seems to be alive and taking the mate who was meant to heal Kira's broken heart.
Now Kira has to find the dark magic that brought Mira back to life, deal with a mate bond with a man who loves a ghost, and face the terrible truth: some resurrections cost a life. Now, Kira might not make it through this time.

The voice yelling in my head wasn't mine, but it felt like mine. It felt like coming home to a rage I'd carried my whole life without knowing it.


I tried to open my eyes, tried to remember where I was, but all I could see were other women's memories flowing through me like a deadly river.


Isabel Shadowbane, burned alive by Council troops in 1847. Her last thought: "Make them pay."


Margaret Shadowbane, abused for three days before they killed her children in front of her. Her death wish: "Vengeance."


Catherine Shadowbane, who watched her mate torn apart by Council magic. Her final words: "I curse them all."


Dozens of them. Hundreds. Every Shadowbane woman who had died fighting the Council for three centuries, and now their memories were inside my head, demanding justice.


KILL THEM ALL, they whispered together. MAKE THEM SUFFER AS WE SUFFERED.
