Sadie has already survived the fae world with four shifter men bound to her: Jax, Xerxes, Ascher and Cobra. Cobra is heir to the throne in Serpentine City, a stronghold the mafia runs outright. The ruling family gives him an ultimatum: form his pack, or forfeit his claim. The five of them move into the city together to train for a fight none of them can avoid.
This is the third book in Jasmine Mas's Cruel Shifterverse, a why-choose shifter romance. Sadie's bond runs to all four men at once, rather than settling on a single one. Mafia politics sit alongside the romance here. The tone stays dark and explicit, and an enemies-to-lovers pull still runs under the men's loyalty to her.
Training drills and open conflict fill as many chapters as the romance does. Cobra's ultimatum tests whether the group holds together. Whether the pressure between the five of them breaks toward hostility or toward love is the question the book keeps returning to.
It is the third entry in a six-book series. It continues straight from where Psycho Shifters and Psycho Fae left the pack: out of the fae world and into Serpentine City's underworld.
