A Bloodveiled Descent by Haley M. Opet (Book 1)

A missing brother. A forbidden magic. A choice that will rewrite her fate.

Evelyne Duskwood was born to wear silk, charm suitors, and secure her family’s legacy. But when her younger brother vanishes, leaving behind only a blood sigil seared into stone, her world shatters. In her search for answers, Evelyne uncovers a dangerous truth: magic never died in the southern lands. It was merely hidden… and something far darker now stirs.

Her hunt leads north to Nerathar, a cursed realm ruled by a blood witch and haunted by creatures of shadow. But when Evelyne and her former betrothed fall captive to the ruthless Ironwolf pack, everything changes. Their untamed alpha is as maddening as he is magnetic, challenging her every step—and igniting something wild and undeniable within her.

Torn between the life she was raised for and the truth written in her blood, Evelyne is thrust into a world of wolves, forbidden magic, and a prophecy waiting to awaken.

As the crimson moon rises, she must choose: cling to the woman society expects… or embrace the darkness, the magic, and the wildfire that was always hers.
