Unfated Mates: A Fated Mates / Rejected Mates Trope Twist on a Coming-of-age Werewolf Romance - Paperback

"...a highly original take on the fated mate trope. Talionis has a knack for crafting a suspenseful, atmospheric, and gratifyingly erotic love story, with much more beneath the surface than readers might initially expect." - Publishers Weekly BookLife Prize

A cocky orphan wolf boy. A shy human girl. And a love forbidden by fate itself.

Wandering deep into the winter woods to escape her mother's boyfriend, Nat fears she may have run from one horror only to be devoured by another. A terrifying giant of a wolf lurks in the shadows, hunting for prey.

And only one thing will satisfy his hunger...

Book 1 in the Unfated Mates series. Each book features a different couple but should be read in sequence for overall story progression and reveals. YA part 1; steamy / explicit NA part 2. This book pushes boundaries!

Key themes: forbidden love, duality of human/animal nature, violating societal norms, moral conflict, secrecy, impotence, healing from abuse/trauma, and learning to believe one is worthy of love.
