Aconite Hollow

Rel Blackpine’s life was built on lies.

Forced to leave California and return to her parents’ secluded hometown of Aconite Hollow, Rel expects small-town isolation—not the unraveling of everything she thought she knew. The town is secretive. The forest feels alive. And the closer the spring equinox approaches, the more dangerous her return becomes.

She wasn’t adopted.

She wasn’t abandoned.

She was hidden.

When long-buried truths about her biological parents surface, Rel learns they were killed protecting her from a threat that still exists. Now, powerful forces within the town are watching her every move. Pack loyalties run deep. Ancient hierarchies govern the community. And something inside Rel is waking up—something tied to the wolves that roam the forest beyond her home.

As tensions rise and a magnetic presence stalks her dreams, Rel must uncover her true identity before destiny claims her for good.

Shifting Destiny is the first installment in the Aconite Hollow series—a dark shifter romantasy filled with hidden lineage, pack politics, slow-burn tension, and a heroine discovering the power she was never meant to survive.
