She was raised in a cage. Now she’s trapped in his arms. But can love heal the broken?

For four years, Alpha Eziah has hunted for his mate—a woman he has never met, a bond that was meant to complete him.

When he finds her, he doesn’t expect a broken woman, hidden away in a cage, her mind shattered, her wolf fragmented beyond recognition.

Temperance has been suffering at the hands of her own blood. Seven years of torment. Seven years of isolation. Seven years of forgetting what it meant to be free.

Now, Eziah wants to set her free.

But Temperance doesn’t recognize him. Doesn’t trust him. Doesn’t even believe she is his mate.

Her wolf is wild, unstable, dangerous. And when her nightmares take form, Eziah realizes that rescuing her from her prison was just the beginning.

Because Temperance is caged by something far worse than walls.

She is trapped within her own mind.

And the monster inside her? It is waiting to take over.

Author’s Note – Before You Listen

Recommended for 18+ listeners. This is not a love story wrapped in softness. A female lead who has endured the worst, a mate who will wait as long as it takes, and a bond that neither of them expected. In a world of gods, dark magic, and the brutal scars of the past, she is forced to navigate power, trauma, and the terrifying idea of trusting again.

Trigger Warning: This book contains themes of SA, trafficking, PTSD, and emotional recovery, alongside shifter bonds, divine interference, and the slow, aching process of healing. This is a romance that doesn’t rush, doesn’t force—but patiently waits for the moment when fear turns to strength. If you’re drawn to protective heroes, powerful but wounded heroines, and love that is earned, not demanded— then step carefully, because this story will break before it mends.
