Feral

In this lush fantasy romance, a powerless werewolf sets to prove her mom’s innocence when she’s accused of a series of ritual killings at her school—even if that means partnering with a brooding vampire prince.

Vrika Wilde is a fraud. Despite being heir to the werewolf pack, she can’t turn into a wolf. She’s spent years living a lie. And now she has to continue faking it in her first year at Rivenblade College, the exclusive academy for the most cunning supernatural elite. If she doesn’t, she’s as good as dead.

She’ll have to keep a low profile, especially during the deadly trials initiates must pass to graduate. But when her mother is framed for the grisly murder of two students, Vrika must prove her innocence by allying herself with vampire prince Reyn Nightmoor. Though he can’t be trusted, he has the power and influence she needs to uncover the truth.

However, not even Reyn can stop the rumors that ancient runes found on their fallen classmates are connected to an exiled guild—the fae—and a gory ritual for their return. Between surviving the school year without shifting, hunting the real murderer, and not falling for her enemy, it’ll take a miracle for Vrika not to go completely feral.
