Aster overheard a prophecy ten years ago: the deaf wolf needed to be put down because he would be the beginning of a war. Now, years later, she serves as the seer for the Adulwulfs clan. Aiden demands a true vision from her during the next lunar eclipse and insists she touch the clan’s newest acquisition at the Gem and Mineral Museum—the Tiara of Ix-Chel—believing it will amplify her powers.
Meanwhile, Noah has been watching Aster ever since he saw her at Brick and Madi’s wedding. There’s something familiar about her, especially when the two begin dreamwalking into each other’s dreams. Noah’s original plan to steal the tiara quickly changes after he discovers Aster locked away in a tower, convulsing. Protecting her becomes more important than the mission, though the growing temptation between them only complicates things.
Noah is such a heartbreaking hero. Abandoned by his mother and born deaf, he was raised by his Nan and eventually found a place within the Blackthroat Company. His desire to save his mother while seeking answers about why she left him pulls at your emotions.
Aster’s journey was equally compelling. She has always followed Oma’s guidance and bowed to the alpha, but she slowly begins questioning that guidance. Her feelings for Noah threaten her visions, and the emotional conflict heightens the tension in the storyline.
While Aster’s visions felt frustratingly unclear, this added to the suspense. When she’s eventually forced to choose between prophecy and her heart, her decision changes everything.
This instalment not only delivered an emotional romance between Noah and Aster, but also set the stage for even bigger conflicts, deeper pack dynamics, and more revelations to come in future books.
I was gifted an ARC of this book and am leaving a personal review.
