As the Crow Flies

Caden Meadows has spent his whole life hiding.

The night his family was massacred, a carnival witch smuggled him into the shadows and kept him there. Because Caden isnt just another shifter—hes a Healer, a one‑in‑a‑hundred rarity even among Shamans, and the kind of power people kill to control.

When a chance encounter with Lyster Shayne, a crow shifter with secrets of his own, shatters Cadens quiet life, everything hes been running from finally catches up. The academy wants him. Enemies want him. And four Alpha shifters feel the unmistakable pull of a mate bond they never expected.

Desire is the least dangerous thing waiting for him at the academy.

As Cadens magic awakens, so do the threats surrounding him—old enemies, new alliances, and a destiny that refuses to stay buried. His mates are powerful, possessive, and willing to burn the world to protect him… but Cadens past holds a truth even they arent ready for.

And the most dangerous bond of all hasnt revealed itself yet.

Magic. Murder. Mates.

Some destinies dont wait to be chosen.
