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.

My body was frozen, watching the cosmic creature wearing Jake's face manipulate my father into breaking the younger version of me all over again. The fake Marcus was being the perfect father - everything I'd dreamed of for ten years.


Which meant the fall was going to hurt a thousand times worse.


"We have to stop this," I whispered to Zander, but my voice came out broken and small.


"How?" Zander's hand found mine, squeezing tight. "We can't even touch that timeline. We're just watching."


The younger me was crying happy tears as fake Marcus hugged her close. "I'm so sorry, sweetheart. I was wrong to blame you. Mira's death wasn't your fault."


My stomach twisted. Those were the words I'd needed to hear at eighteen. The words that might have saved me from ten years of running and hiding and thinking I was worthless.
