Two states, two species, two withering glances at each other. Werewolves and people. The dominant species, which does not care about the tears of those who are weaker, is accustomed to taking away what is most precious - fate and freedom. And for what? For fun? Or was there something more important for them, these cruel representatives of the half-wolves? What is the fate of being at the mercy of a werewolf, who was not pleased with the gift from his mother-countess, who harbored the hope that a young beauty with arrogance would pull her son out of the veil of the pain in which he had been for the last three years. But where did the girl’s ambition go under the stern, steely gaze of the gray eyes of one who had no intention of leaving the dark path? How to fight the influence of the dark clan and resist a beautiful mistress, who, after all, is a werewolf, and therefore higher in status? Will he force the man to kneel, or is it possible to somehow cope with his furious temper and return to him what cruel fate has taken away? And what secret does the insidious fate hide behind the lines written long before the heroine’s birth?
