Lyra Thorne, Alpha of the formidable Thorne Pack and a respected Division Chief in the FBI’s New Chicago supernatural branch, is watching her life spiral into chaos. Her once-harmonious polyamorous relationships are fraying—especially with her husband, Dane Morrison, whose well-meaning but overbearing nature has driven them to the brink. A disastrous “guys’ night” and Lyra’s sleep-talking confession that her feelings for Brennan are fading force the whole group into therapy with the unorthodox Julian Wyck.

As if personal turmoil weren’t enough, Lyra is thrust into a political firestorm. Leaked photos from an old “Siren’s Whisper” photoshoot—and the First Lady’s very public disdain for supernaturals—spark threats and blackmail. When a contract is placed on Lyra and her adopted son, Christopher, she suspects the First Lady’s hand—and that suspicion quickly becomes dangerously public.

Meanwhile, the fragile peace between humans and supernaturals hangs by a thread. Lyra must navigate treacherous pack politics, hostile takeovers, and shaky alliances while fending off attacks from rival factions. The arrival of Tiago, a powerful vampire dispatched by the Crimson Council to oversee her coven, ratchets up the tension and raises fears of espionage within her own ranks.

Facing betrayals, power struggles, and mounting violence, Lyra has to lean on her inner strength—and the loyalty of her chosen family—to survive. But with enemies in every shadow and her personal life on the verge of collapse, can she shield those she loves before time runs out? The fate of both human and supernatural worlds rests on her shoulders, and every choice she makes will shape not only her future but the destiny of everyone around her.
