On the eve of her wedding, Cordelia Carter is framed by her stepmother and stepsister, drugged, and left to be ruined by wild wolves. Instead, she spends one night with Damian, the feared Duke of Broken Spine Fortress, accidentally breaking the seal on his hidden power. The next day, betrayed by her fiancé and cast out by her father, Cordelia is forced into a blood-contract marriage with Damian to save her sick brother. When her family later tries to destroy her wolf soul, Damian returns in full power to save her. Together, they take revenge, expose every conspiracy, and find love in the ruins.
