About this book

Raika is an outcast within her own pack, bearing the brunt of the alpha heir Shane’s undisguised disdain. Their mutual loathing is legendary, but fate has a cruel sense of humor. When a powerful mating bond snaps into place between them, it creates a volatile attraction they cannot ignore. However, their fragile connection shatters when their pack is decimated and Raika is left behind, enslaved and abandoned. Believing Shane betrayed them all, her heart hardens into a weapon forged by pure, unadulterated revenge.

This gripping series opener blends the dark intensity of hell-realms with the high-stakes drama of shifter politics. As a paranormal romance, it masterfully utilizes the fated-mates and enemies-to-lovers tropes to create a simmering tension that is as dangerous as the demons lurking in the shadows. Raika is a fierce, resilient protagonist who refuses to be broken, even when the world is burning around her.

When Shane returns to claim her, the stage is set for an epic, action-packed confrontation. With witches, vampires, and demonic forces threatening their survival, the pair must navigate a treacherous path toward redemption. If you crave a steamy, fast-paced read with found-family dynamics and an unforgettable slow-burn romance, this journey into the Rite World is your next obsession.

The Night Calling

The demon, Conri, send the alpha to be tortured and killed by the witches. Somehow, Shane escapes but thinks his entire pack has been slaughtered.

Raika & Shane’s story is amazing! One thought the other was dead. One thought the other abandoned the pack. Both were wrong. A chance meeting a year later set in motion the events to bring them back together. I loved Raika’s character. No matter how cruel her pack was to her she fought every day to make their imprisoned life better. This was a terrific start for this series. I could hardly wait for book 2 and ended up reading all 4 books before leaving a review. Highly recommended! ) 3 people...
