Darkness rises and darkness comes. With it, the House of Conri falls.Brokenhearted, non-shifter Rory Conri returns home to the Wolfden enclave. There’s only one thing she knows will help take her mind off of her ex: the annual Summer Solstice Ball. But those plans are shattered when her parents, the Wolf King and his Consort, forbid her from attending. Their refusal stems from the fear of her … from the fear of her curse—a ruinous birthright that prophesized the downfall of the Conri line the day Rory takes a mate.
Determined, Rory sneaks into the ball anyway. There’s no reason for them to worry. Conris only mate wolves, and no one would ever want a non-shifter without a wolf inside. But when a tall and ripped masked stranger claims that she’s his mate, Rory questions the life of solitude that her parents have thrust upon her.
Adrien Bloodwing hates suits and masks, and he especially hates balls. Forced to attend by his dragon clan leader, Adrien dreads every second he’s at the Summer Solstice Ball until the fleeting scent of his mate catches his attention. He is immediately drawn in by her sultry curves and shocked when she tells him about some silly curse she carries. It’s a lie. At least he believed it was before she practically dropped dead in his arms after an innocent kiss.
With Rory whisked away, Adrien is determined to save and protect his mate while also clearing his name of murder. But things only darken as the pair begin to unravel the lies of Rory’s past. Together, the two will have to face an evil that has haunted her entire life or forever be torn apart.
~~~
Step into the world of Shifting Destinies, where the men and women you meet might just be a little more than human. Their towns are protected by magic, and their hearts are open and ready for love. But watch your step – more than darkness lurks in the shadows.

Full of dragons, wolves and Fae, this book is sure to get your attention. It’s a little bit of a twist to an old tale. A curse, a mate, a sleep and evil doers at every turn. You won’t know where to look, but I’m sure you will enjoy the journey to the HEA. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.
Cursed at birth Rory has never known her wolf. Then Adrian shows up and her life will never be the same. Good thing she has her brother as well because betrayal is handled better when you are surrounded with love.
I voluntarily offered to review this book with no obligations and my opinions are honest
The characters + storytelling were very captivating
A curse follows Rory everywhere.
Adrien just found his mate.
Can Rory + Adrien break the curse ?
The storytelling + the character’s build were awesome!
It has all the ingredients that you need for a great book!
Alpha hero and jaded heroine. Love Cecilia’s shifter novels!

Always loved the fairy tale of Sleeping Beauty which this one had a twist. Yes this book is a page turner. Definitely a Must Read!
Aurora Deirdre Conri aka: Rory is a Wolf Shifter NOT she was Cursed and Shiftless plus rejected by her parent the king and queen. She was the Royal Conri Princess, no one wanted. Until she met her mate.
Adrien Bloodwing and his twin Damien are Dragon Shifters who came to Wolfden’s Summer Solstice Ball. Board and wanting to home and get out of his monkey suit Adrien just walked around ran smack dab into his mate. Just one kiss and shit happened.
Rory Conri is a non – shifter cursed at birth my a fae queen. The prophecy is if she ever takes a mate it will be the end of the Conri line. So she is sent away to school, lives away from the pack and is never a part of them . After a break up with a human she comes home a day early in time for the summer solstice ball but she is forbidden to attend by her parents the king and his consort. . Ha like that is going to stop her. She goes anyways. Her reason? Conri’s wolves only mare wolves and she is a non-shifter safer! Well nope.
Adrien Bloodwing hates balls, suits and masks. He is forced to attend this ball by his dragon clan leader and is hating every second of it until he catches the scent of his mate.
Oh wow the twist and turns in this story is great. I love the characters. It’s full of action, betrayal, mystery, intrigued, drama, and so much more. It’s one of those books you just don’t want to end. I loved it.
Voluntarily reviewed a copy and I honestly loved it.
This short fated mate story resides in the same mythology of the Bearden books, but now we are in Wolfden. Unlike Bearden with their human like government, Wolfden is run by the Conri King. Like the saying goes though power corrupts, and their daughter Rory is paying the price. But fate is the final equalizer. This afternoon read has action, intrigue, and a sexy romance in a well told story hat leaves you with a smile.
