About this audiobook

Jamie has been crossing onto MacBain land twice a week, and he cannot understand why his sister minds. *"The pack's not dangerous. Callum MacBain's got rules."* Flora MacKenzie knows the rules. She memorised every stone and stream on Lunar Isle as a girl, because her father taught her that survival meant knowing exactly where the pack's territory began. In three days the blood moon rises and the Challenge begins, and boys who go out to watch wolves tear each other apart do not always come home. Then Duncan MacBain knocks on her door, smiling, asking after her brother. Flora is the island's healer — hemlock poultices, feverfew and willow bark, recipes written in Gaelic so faded the ink has gone brown. Callum MacBain is the alpha of the pack her family has paid a tithe to in land and labor for three generations, and he has spent seventeen years carrying the weight of what he did to that family. What he finally offers her is not an apology. It is a blood debt. *"One favor. No limits. You name it, and I'll do it. If you keep Jamie away from the pack until the blood moon passes."* Flora takes the bargain, and names her price: the truth about her father. The truth is worse than the silence was. A wild wolf in a silver collar came for her family's farm. Callum ended what the wolf started and called it mercy, then let Flora hate him for it. He also killed his own brother Conall over it — and Conall was not the one who paid for the collar. Duncan was. Duncan let his cousin bury the wrong man and stepped into the gap it opened, one place short of the alpha's seat. It takes a ledger, a scrap of parchment, an old healer named Mairi Ross, and a hard stomach to prove any of that in front of the pack. It also takes noticing that someone inside Flora's own cottage keeps switching nightshade into the comfrey paste. And there is the thing Flora has never asked about: the moon-shaped birthmark hidden beneath her dress, the word in an old tongue she speaks in her sleep, the reason the island's oldest women look at her chest and go quiet. This is a werewolf shifter romance set on a windswept island a channel crossing from the mainland, about a healer who refuses to be anyone's tithe and an alpha who has run out of ways to pay. Closed-door.
