She pulled a dying stranger from the sea. She never expected him to be an alpha prince...or to claim she was his fated mate. Runa Duskbane has spent her life proving herself on dangerous waters. As captain of her own ship, she's learned to trust the sea more than people. Love has never had a place in her world. When she rescues a gravely wounded man drifting in the freezing ocean, everything changes. Aldric Nightshade is the rightful heir to the Frostfang throne—a powerful wolf shifter betrayed by his own blood and left for dead before his coronation. Hidden aboard Runa's ship, he discovers something far more unexpected than survival: the human captain who saved him is his fated mate. But destiny has never come without a price. A ruthless usurper is hunting Aldric to finish what he started. Every passing day brings enemies closer, and protecting the woman he loves may cost Aldric his kingdom. For Runa, accepting the impossible bond means risking everything she has built—and trusting a man from a world she never believed existed. As war brews between kingdoms and ancient secrets begin to surface, they must decide whether to fight fate…or embrace it before they lose everything.
