Summary
They called her a witch. They called her the Wolfkiller, the traitor's seed, dragged half-feral from a haunted ruin, a woman the whole court feared and none could truly name.
When the young prince of Malvenne lies dying, it is Hitch de Veyne they come for, by force to save a boy she has every reason to let die. He is the son of the man who destroyed her family. She saves him anyway. And makes herself, against every instinct of a life spent surviving, indispensable to the very house that unmade her own.
Hitch has never asked anyone for anything. It is what makes her unforgettable, and it is what will undo her. Because the one who loves her most is the one who can never say it. Annie, the warrior regent married off at sixteen and raised like a son, who wears iron where other women wear silk and has never once been allowed to want what she wants. Annie would burn the kingdom for the Wolfkiller. She will never be permitted to tell her. And in a court built on everything left unspoken, the most dangerous thing a regent and a witch can do is love each other in silence.
