about the book
Lyra Caelwyn was born with a mark that shouldn't exist.
Every wolf-shifter of the Six Houses carries a Birth Sky — a constellation etched into the skin at birth, completed slowly over a lifetime. Lyra's arrived whole, in a single instant, the night she was born. In twenty-seven years, no one has told her why.
As heir to House Silvercrest, deep in the Louisiana bayou, Lyra carries her unanswered questions quietly — until a stranger's symbol turns up burned into a boundary stone, and an anonymous message arrives: the Harp has been found.
Across the swamp, in Nightfang territory, Silvercrest's oldest rival, Kael Blackthorne finds the same symbol carved into his family's land. He's spent his life hiding an incomplete mark he was never meant to have. When an emergency summit forces the two heirs into the same room, their eyes meet — and both marks ignite with a pain neither can explain.
What binds them together isn't chosen, and it isn't safe. The Harp and the Hunter are not new anomalies. They're the two halves of a prophecy the Six Houses spent generations trying to forget, and something ancient, buried beneath the Dominion's most sacred ground, is finally waking up.
As their bond deepens — an involuntary pull strong enough to crack stone doors and wake rooms sealed for centuries — the secrets both families have guarded for decades come apart. Their mothers investigated this same forbidden question years before either child was born. The Six Houses may not be what they claim. And somewhere inside the Dominion itself, a faction willing to kill to keep the truth buried has already decided how this ends.
Racing a conspiracy older than either bloodline, Lyra and Kael must decide how much of their families' lies they're willing to unravel — and how much of themselves they're willing to risk — before the sky finishes what it started centuries ago.
BIRTH SKY: The First Accord is the first book in the series, a slow-burn paranormal romance about inherited secrets, forbidden bonds, and the cost of finally being seen.
