Verdantis (Magic, Monsters & Mates #1)

Thea Moonweaver has always been a ghost in her own life, a wolf-less girl in a pack that demands strength. Shunned by her family and tormented by those who see her as a disgrace, she has learned to survive by being invisible. But when her life is threatened by the pack's cruel leadership, an unlikely rescue offers her a chance at a new beginning.

Swept away by Kieran Blackthorn, the formidable Alpha of the rival Crimson Lake Pack, Thea finds herself in a world that challenges everything she has ever known. Here, strength is measured not by brute force, but by community, kindness, and an ancient magic that hums within the land.

As Thea discovers a hidden connection to the natural world and a power she never knew she possessed, she must decide if she can trust the one man who sees her not as a broken girl, but as his fated mate. But healing the scars of her past may not be enough to save her from a new, terrifying threat that hunts her for her unique abilities. Verdantis is a compelling tale of survival, slow-burn romance, and finding your true power in a world that tried to define you.
