Claws and Bonds is the second book in The Ashmark trilogy—a bingeable fantasy paranormal romance filled with fated mates, simmering tension, dangerous secrets, magical chaos, and the kind of found family that makes survival a little less impossible.

After everything Rowan Prescott thought she understood about herself—and the supernatural world around her—gets turned upside down, one thing becomes painfully clear: surviving what’s ahead will take more than stubbornness and sarcasm.

With tensions rising between supernatural factions, dangerous truths coming to light, and powers she never asked for becoming harder to ignore, Rowan finds herself pulled deeper into a world that seems determined to demand more from her at every turn.

She didn’t ask for this power. But it’s hers now, and if anyone thinks they get to decide her fate, they’re about to learn…

Rowan's not the prophecy they feared. She's the reckoning they made.

SYNOPSIS

All I wanted was peace. Instead, I got control and a reason to stop playing nice.

I thought surviving a prophecy, postponing fate, and basically blowing up the wolf council would earn me a break.
Spoiler: it didn’t.

Walking away from my mate and my family was supposed to keep them safe. Instead, it made me an even bigger target—landing me in a place where power listens, walls breathe, and control is something you're trained to surrender to, piece by piece.

And the monster sitting on the throne? He’s full of lies.
But the darkness hasn’t broken me. It’s taught me exactly who I am.

When I emerge from captivity, Cade has torn his way through days and nights to find me, leaving a wreckage in his wake, but our problems aren’t the only ones demanding attention.

I didn’t ask for this power. But it’s mine, and if anyone thinks they get to decide my fate for me, they’re about to learn…

I’m not the prophecy they feared.
I’m the reckoning they made.


Claws and Bonds is the second book in The Ashmark Trilogy, perfect for fans of wolf shifters, found family chaos, snarky heroines, grumpy alphas, and just the right amount of supernatural mayhem. If you like your fantasy with bite, banter, and a side of magical dysfunction, welcome to NightShade Manor.
