The Buried Wolf

Okay wolf-romance girlies, gather round — this one’s giving forced-marriage-meets-fated-mate and it is NOT playing fair. Rowan’s whole life has been picked out for her, down to who she marries and why, and then Tae walks in and the bond just knows. Forbidden pull, pack politics, and a slow burn so achingly drawn out you’ll be yelling at your Kindle — chef’s kiss. There’s real weight here too: coercive control, confinement, some genuinely rough injury and loss on the page, so go in with eyes open. But if you’re here for a duty-bound alpha fighting his own heart and a heroine who stops obeying and starts choosing herself? The Buried Wolf has you covered.

Book Description

He knows she is his fated mate.
She has spent her entire life believing she has no wolf.

Rowan Reed has always been the daughter her pack endured, not the heir it needed.

Her wolf is silent. Her brother is missing. And the ancient magic in her blood can only be secured through marriage. Her father has already chosen the man who will possess that power—and her.

Then Actaeon Stone walks into her healing cabin and recognises Rowan as his mate.

Tae is heir to the powerful Northern pack, bound by duty to protect a fragile peace. Rowan is promised to another. Worse, the bond that remakes his entire world barely whispers to her. Claiming her could ignite a war. Leaving her would mean abandoning the only woman the Moon Goddess ever chose for him.

But Rowan has spent her life obeying.

With Tae, she begins to want.

Every stolen look and forbidden touch awakens something inside her that was never dead—only buried.

At the sacred Moonscar Gathering, wolves come to forge alliances. Others come to break them. As lies close around them and grief turns devotion into doubt, one devastating choice will decide whether their bond can survive—or whether Rowan will be buried alongside the wolf she never knew she had.

Some wolves are born beneath the moon.
Others must be torn from the dark.

The Buried Wolf is the first book in an emotional adult romantasy trilogy featuring forbidden fated mates, a hero who falls first, aching slow-burn tension, open-door romance, wolf-shifter politics, hidden magic, betrayal, and a heroine awakening to the power buried inside her.

Book one in a continuing trilogy.
