★擄獲多位《紐約時報》青少年小說作家聯袂推薦

一段美妙奇想的黑暗和惡毒性感的浪漫，但要小心，這本書會反咬你一口。

一段不可抗拒的青少年三角戀和禁忌之愛為劇情，是一部快節奏的黑暗、冒險、背叛和浪漫青少年小說，特別向超自然的經典青少年小說《暮光之城》和《暗夜天使》等作致敬。

懷舊氣息、高可讀性和豐富概念完美地結合在一起，講述一名少女必須在殘酷的狼人、危險的王子、陰鬱的保鏢和致命的宮廷政治中存活下來，才能向殺害親友的怪物報仇。

凡妮莎．哈特（Vanessa Hart）十七歲生日派對當晚，遭到狼的惡毒襲擊，最好的朋友被狼殘忍的屠殺，她的生活永遠改變了。當她的父親發現凡妮莎抱著塞萊斯特（Celeste）的屍體、而且自己身上也帶著可怕的咬痕時，他沒有帶她去醫院——而是將她交給了那群罪魁禍首的生物。

牠們不是普通的狼──他們是狼人。瓦妮莎的生命現在屬於奸詐的「狼后法庭」（Wolf Queen's Court）。

作為一名囚犯，瓦妮莎被囚禁在迷人的塞維里城堡裡，經歷最痛苦的轉變，陪伴她的只有對狼的仇恨和對塞萊斯特之死的噩夢般記憶。但是，當她最後變成狼人時，她的眼睛像阿爾法一樣閃閃發光。瓦妮莎不是向法庭發誓永遠效忠，就得像孤獨的狼一樣在痛苦中死去。

瓦妮莎在別無選擇下，選擇成為牠們的一份子，被引領進入一個奇異的世界──繁花藤蔓穿牆而生，星辰賜予禮物，利爪劃破肌膚如撕裂絲綢般輕易。凡妮莎一邊被復仇的渴望驅使，一邊又深陷於金髮王子辛克萊．塞維里（Sinclair Severi）散發令人意亂神迷的魅力，儘管他與她的宿敵有婚約。同時，她也無法忽視那位陰沉的失勢堂兄卡利克斯（Calix），他炙熱的目光掩蓋著更深的黑暗秘密。凡妮莎必須找到一條屬於自己的道路，既要滿足復仇的渴望，還要應對內心的掙扎與誘惑。

沉浸在狼人社會的魔法中，凡妮莎逐漸發現，其邪惡不僅局限於午夜森林中的一名殺手。宮廷內部正陷於戰爭，她或許只是這場致命博弈中的一枚棋子。

本系列第二本小說預計2026年秋季出版。
