The Story Begins

A princess without a kingdom. A shapeshifter bound to the wild. And a love fierce enough to defy a king.

Beneath the canopy of Estoria’s Northern Wood, something ancient stirs… A magic that does not simply protect—it transforms.

When Princess Emma Estoria is carried from the safety of her castle into the wild, she expects danger. Instead, she finds Darrien: a shapeshifter with a painful past, a strange tenderness, and a world where she is finally free to choose who she becomes.

But the life Emma left behind has not forgotten her. Will she be strong enough to stand beside the man she loves to defend the life she’s chosen?
