Unbound: The Sovereign Seed (Unbound Series)

Eighteen-year-old Ava has spent her life in the shadows of the Ashwood estate, hiding a deadly secret: she is a hybrid, a rare and forbidden blending of warlock magic and werewolf blood. In a world where the pack hierarchies rule the western cascades and shadow-weaving witches dominate the east, Ava’s very existence is a death sentence. She’s content to stay hidden forever—until a brutal vanguard attack destroys her home and forces her into the dangerous, snow-locked peaks of the Silvercrest pack.

Stefan is a formidable Alpha, burdened with protecting his territory from an encroaching war. He doesn't have time for distractions, but the moment an impossible, mesmerizing frequency hits his senses on the border, his wolf demands submission to a girl he’s never met. Ava is his fated mate.

Bringing a magical hybrid into the heart of a suspicious wolf pack sparks an immediate, volatile trial. As Ava’s volatile magic flares and hidden enemies close in, Stefan must stand between his council’s judgment and the girl he is sworn to protect. But when an ancient heirloom unlocks the truth of Ava’s lineage, she realizes she was never meant to be a refugee.

To survive the coming war, Ava must claim a dangerous, primordial power—even if ascending her true throne means rewriting the laws of the wild forever.
