The Dead Luna

Aurora Stone, once lavished with familial affection, found herself abandoned and betrayed. Her family, seeing her only as a means to wealth and social standing, cast her aside when she lost her honor. Sold to monsters who inflicted physical and emotional wounds, Aurora was left with nothing. In a desperate bid for freedom from the Lycan palace, she faked her own death, becoming the "Dead Luna." Her plan to live anonymously in a human town was thwarted when fate intervened, leading her back to Sebastian King, the ruler of Velmora. While he had previously allowed her to leave, he now refuses to let her go, unaware that Aurora, reborn as the warrior Phoenix, is determined to remain free and unafflicted by mates or claims. Sebastian, however, sees through her disguise, recognizing his long-lost mate and vowing to reclaim her.
