Betrayed Beneath the Wolf Crown. The Ashmoon Covenant, #2

She trusted him with her freedom. Now the Wolf Crown will use his voice to take it back. Elara Vale and Averic Thorne broke the curse that tried to turn their bond into a weapon. But freedom has not erased the damage between them. Trust remains fragile, Blackstone is rebuilding under enemies who refuse to let an Alpha surrender control, and something beyond the failing Moonless boundary is stealing names from the living.
Then the Wolf Crown begins to wake. Forged from promises once given freely and corrupted by generations of forced obedience, the Crown can command wolves through blood, memory, and bond. Its keeper wants Averic as a living throne-and Elara's closest allies are carrying secrets powerful enough to place him there. When betrayal delivers the final key, Averic becomes the weapon Elara always feared he could be.
Saving him will require more than breaking another curse. Elara must cross a court built from stolen identities, challenge a Crown that speaks with the voice of the man she loves, and surrender the memories that once taught her why he was worth choosing. If she succeeds, Averic may return to a woman who no longer remembers loving him. If she fails, every freely chosen bond will become a chain. Betrayed Beneath the Wolf Crown is Book 2 of The Ashmoon Covenant, a dark, emotionally intense werewolf romantasy trilogy filled with fated mates, a powerful heroine, a tormented Alpha, mate-bond tension, betrayal, stolen memories, political intrigue, dangerous magic, hard-won redemption, and love that must survive without destiny deciding the outcome.
