A hidden supernatural world. A house full of dangerous allies. And a woman determined to protect the family she chose.
The House of Ward was built to be a refuge.
Now it may become the center of a conflict between two worlds.
When a fae envoy arrives from the other side searching for one of their own, the fragile balance surrounding the House begins to unravel. Vera believes her mission is simple: find the lost fae living in the mortal realm and bring them home before the dangers of this world destroy them.
But nothing about the House of Ward is simple.
A wedding brings the House of Ward together-but change is already at the door.
As Silas and Sara celebrate their union, Beth's accidental collision with Garrett-a powerful, yellow-eyed shifter and the Pack Leader's son-pulls her into the complexities of Pack life. Their unexpected connection stirs old traditions, complicates lingering rivalries, and poses questions the shifter community has long avoided.
At the same time, the House of Ward is adjusting to changes of its own. Bruce's new life as a vampire alters the household's delicate balance, leaving Kate to navigate unfamiliar emotions alongside her growing responsibilities as leader. Those responsibilities grow heavier when her sire, Alexander, reappears-charming, persistent, and far too interested in House affairs.
Pulled between vampire politics and her ties to the shifter Pack, Kate must decide how deeply she's willing to step into the wider supernatural world-and what kind of leader she wants to be.
In a season of celebration, tradition is tested, loyalties are gently strained, and desire has a way of complicating everything.
Vera expected monsters. Instead she finds a family—and the longer she stays, the harder it becomes to believe the stories she was told about the mortal world and the vampires who live in it.
For Kate, the envoy’s arrival couldn’t come at a worse time. After years spent fighting the vampire Council for the right to exist, she now finds herself stepping into its ranks. As she struggles to navigate a system she once feared, her past arrives on her doorstep in the form of the brother she thought she had already lost.
Tristan carries a powerful gift neither of them fully understands—one that may draw the attention of both the fae realm and the vampire world.
Now Kate must protect the family she built while deciding what she truly is: vampire, fae… or something that belongs to neither world.
Because if the fae succeed in taking one of their own home, the fragile peace surrounding the House of Ward may not survive.
Because the House of Ward protects its own—no matter which world comes knocking.
