When trust becomes the most dangerous magic of all, love might be the only truth left standing.

The moment the ripple of the soulbond awakened, everything I believed in began to crack.

I'm Candra Valen, Valkyrie Flight Captain, truth-reader, and protector of magic. My gift has never failed me... until now. Lies sound like truth. Enemies look like allies. And when a new wave of attacks strikes Briar Glen, I can't tell who's betraying us, or if the corruption is spreading through my own mind.

My only constant is Jenson Steele, the wolf shifter Beta who sees every battle before it happens and guards the clan with a calm I can't read. His silence should infuriate me but instead, it steadies me. But when Balder and his army of corrupted shifters, rise again with a ritual that could twist the sacred bond between our races, Jenson and I are forced to fight side by side... and trust each other completely.

The truth is breaking. The war is coming. And if I fall for the one man I can't see through, I might lose more than my gift?I may lose myself.
