Only the worthy survive the Bonding Trials. She’ll risk her life—and her heart—to be one of them.

Meryn Cooper has always hated the Bonded, elite warriors who form mental links with the massive, vicious direwolves they ride. While they live in luxury, Meryn struggles to keep her family out of poverty.

When her little sister, Saela, is kidnapped—stolen across the border by the immortal monsters her country has spent centuries fighting—Meryn’s world falls apart.

Desperate to cross the front and save her sister, Meryn enlists in the army and is thrown into the deadly Bonding Trials, where any mistake could cost her life.

Now, Meryn must survive four brutal months of training at the castle. She’s bound to a feral direwolf who refuses to communicate. The other trainees would love to spill her common blood. And her cold, beautiful instructor, Stark Therion, is eager to punish any sign of weakness.

Everything is a competition, and everyone is out to get her—everyone except the dangerously handsome crown prince, whose attention adds another target to her back.

In the castle, every smile hides a knife… and the halls conceal dark secrets.

It’s bond or bleed. Duel or die. Failure means ruin.
