The Last Heir of Winterbrock

A noble house burned. A bloodline nearly erased. One heir remains.

When Winterbrock falls in a single night of fire and slaughter, Lady Thea Winterbrock is cast from privilege into chains; her family butchered, her legacy stolen, her future sold.

But Thea is no helpless fugitive.

An animus (gifted with the rare ability to shift into a wolf) she escapes into a hostile wilderness where survival demands more than endurance. Hunted across mountain and forest, weakened by starvation and pursued by men who will not relent, she is forced to embrace the most dangerous parts of herself.

Yet the wild offers no sanctuary. Beyond the immediate threat of capture lies a harsher truth: Winterbrock was not destroyed by chance.

As Thea fights to stay alive, she begins to uncover the deeper forces behind her family’s fall; forces that will not tolerate loose ends and will stop at nothing to ensure the last heir never claims what was lost.

Survival is only the beginning.

To reclaim her name, Thea must decide what she is willing to become; prey, survivor… or something far more feared.

Set in the wider White Haven world, this epic fantasy blends brutal survival, hidden conspiracies, and a heroine forged in loss and rising into power.
