Ironmoor Academy summoned me to reveal the beast in my blood.
Instead, its magic declared me empty.
At twenty-two, I thought the worst thing that could happen was receiving an invitation to my ex-boyfriend’s engagement party.
Then a black iron envelope burned my fingerprint, wrote my name across itself, and ordered me to report to an academy I had never heard of.
For shapeshifters.
The woman who raised me finally admits that my mother lied, people have been watching me since I was four, and refusing the summons isn’t an option.
So I cross the sea to Ironmoor looking for answers.
What I get is publicly classified as a Hollow—a shifter with no beast, no House and no place in their world.
Then the most powerful wolf at the academy scents me across a crowded hall.
Kaelen Vance, heir to Fenhall, is my fated mate. His body recognizes mine instantly.
And the next morning, he rejects me in front of everyone.
He says it’s the only way to keep me alive.
Unfortunately, my body doesn’t care.
Neither do the other men who begin circling closer.
Jax Rivera is a shameless jaguar who calls everyone gorgeous—but only calls me reina. He makes me laugh, kisses me like he’s starving and hides bruises he refuses to explain.
Silas Thorne is a scarred grizzly everyone else fears. With me, he makes himself smaller. Quieter. Safe. Until someone threatens me and I discover exactly what he has been holding back.
Ronan Ashgrave is Ironmoor’s forbidden dragon archivist. He knows more about my bloodline than he can tell me, wears gloves he never removes and pays in pain for every truth he lets me uncover.
They should have nothing in common.
Except me.
Because despite what the academy’s test says, impossible things keep happening around me.
Ancient carvings grow warm beneath my hand. Dangerous shifters become calm when I hum. Bonds form that should not exist. And somewhere inside me, something is beginning to wake.
The Council is watching.
My records have been altered.
An entire bloodline was erased forty-one years ago—and every answer I find makes the people in power more determined to control me.
Or kill me before I understand what I am.
They named me Hollow because they couldn’t see what was inside me.
They’re about to discover that empty and hidden are not the same thing.
