An ancient creature’s twisted magic will transform mortal enemies into fated mates.

Long ago, powerful, ruthless creatures ruled the world. They created mankind before being driven underground by a changing climate. Over millennia, the ancient ones faded into myth as humans built their empires.
Despite their absence, their magic seeped back into the world, twisting forests, beasts, and humanity itself. New beings emerged: Elves, Vampyres, Shifters, Sorcerers, and Witches.
Human technology faltered against these magical threats. In desperation, the humans drew from the magic of an ancient one to create the Bane Shifters—male super-soldiers capable of transforming into any beast needed for battle.
Their fiercest adversaries were the Armgard, a race of female warriors born from the magic of a different ancient one. The ensuing war devastated the Seven Territories. Ultimately, the Bane Shifters triumphed, annihilating the Armgard. As compensation, they demanded seclusion on Mt. Elysium.
The Bane Shifters honored their vow of isolation for a century until an unknown enemy breached Mt. Elysium and slaughtered their kind.
Leaving their mountain to seek vengeance, three Bane Shifters (Roque, Koda, and Delta) soon encountered three female warriors hiding a deadly secret. The Armgard had been reborn, crafted from the magic of a more violent ancient one.
Among them was Calla, a young warrior haunted by visions of Roque. Her secret lineage made them mortal enemies. Their mate bond made them a threat to the powers rising within their world.
