Eli Gunnar has spent most of his life on the run after his pack's Alpha wrongly accused him of his father's murder, leading to the deaths of the Alpha and Beta heirs. At just twelve years old, Eli was exiled by the Alpha. A tragic incident followed soon after, when he was found with the lifeless body of Luna Estella, an act which led to him being blamed for her death. It was only due to the intervention of Liam, whose mate, Angel, possesses the unique ability to discern deception, that the truth was revealed, allowing Eli to escape and start anew. During this journey, Eli unexpectedly encounters his destined mate, Grace. However, unlike him, Grace doesn't possess a wolf. Grace is the beloved daughter of Alpha Edgar and Luna Paige, groomed to succeed as the next Alpha upon her father's retirement. But when she fails to awaken her wolf at twelve, her father's mood shifts, and on her 12th birthday, she is banished from the pack along with her mother. In the human world, Grace witnesses the devastating effects of her broken mate bond on her mother, eventually leaving her to fend for herself at sixteen. On her 18th birthday, Grace not only discovers her latent wolf but also uncovers her Guardian abilities. As hunters become aware of Guardians' strength and seek to eliminate them, Grace must rely on her newfound bond with Eli, along with a shared connection with other Guardians, to confront this threat and reclaim her rightful place as a leader, possibly even establishing her own pack.
