On the Beast Continent, unmarked Ivy Reed is branded a defective female. At her mating ceremony, her betrothed Cade rejects her for white fox Selini, who frames her; Ivy is exiled. She saves cursed wanderer Luke. Pretending to be mates, her touch calms his frenzy. When Cade captures them, Luke reveals himself as wolf king Ronan. A moonlight stone blazes with four king marks: Ivy is the Moon-Blessed, free to choose four beast kings. Amid their rivalry, she uncovers her mother’s death, heals the beasts’ madness, abolishes forced mating, and becomes their queen.
