When the Pines Howl

For twelve years, Claire Bennett has believed her mother abandoned her. Then a cryptic message leads Claire from her ordinary Michigan life into Vesper, a hidden werewolf kingdom, where she discovers the truth: her mother was a runaway princess, and Claire is her illegitimate heir. Claire wants answers, not a crown, especially one already promised to Elias Thorne, a powerful Alpha who should be her rival. Instead, he becomes the one person who can help her survive Vesper's politics and master the rare gift awakening inside her: the ability to see the future. But the farther Claire looks ahead, the less she can trust what she sees. And one vision refuses to leave her: Claire on the throne, Elias dead at her feet, and a knife in her hand. Now Claire must find her missing mother, survive a kingdom determined to use her, and decide whether loving Elias will cost her the crown or whether becoming Queen will cost her the man she loves.
