About the Book
In a world where prophecy determines survival, Maeve is a mother without foresight—and that makes her dangerous. When her adopted daughter Veronica, the reincarnated Wolf Queen, begins to manifest powerful magic, Maeve risks everything to protect her—including her sanity.
Desperate for answers, she travels through time to confront a sleeping god whose truths have shattered minds. But as threats from a secret priesthood grow and Maeve’s grip on reality falters, she must learn that true protection doesn’t come from knowing the future—it comes from trusting love, instinct, and her own inner strength.
