Some legacies are written in blood. Others are buried beneath it. After surviving their first year at Askari Military Academy, Everelle and Kolter return stronger, sharper, and more dangerous than before. But the fragile peace they've fought for begins to unravel when secrets surrounding Everelle's family and her father's past come to light-secrets powerful enough to change the course of her future forever. Forced onto a path she never expected, Everelle must decide who she truly is: the girl shaped by loyalty and loss¿ or the woman destined to reshape the pride itself. Meanwhile, Kolter and the pack face the brutal demands of their second year at the academy, where rivalries deepen, trust fractures, and hidden truths lurk beneath every lesson. As tensions rise and ancient forces begin to stir, the bonds between them are tested in ways none of them are prepared for. Because at Askari, strength alone will not save them. And some secrets were never meant to survive the crown. Perfect for readers who love fierce heroines, loyal packs, dangerous secrets, slow-burn romance, and emotionally charged romantasy, The Pride continues the gripping journey begun in The Pack.
