Sacrificed to the Wolf God

A Standalone Novel in the Claimed by Fate Series

A mythic romantasy of sacrifice, desire and defying fate, by Dana Birkmour

When Kaia is chosen as a sacrifice to the Wolf God, everyone expects her to die quietly, despite her rebellious nature. Instead, she survives—and begins to change. Hunted by her village, bound to a dangerous god, and faced with death or becoming something monstrous, Kaia discovers that survival now may demand more than conforming ever did.

Raised to believe obedience is safety and sacrifice is virtue, Kaia has spent her life trying to fit the narrow shape her village demands of its daughters. When her name is drawn in the Choosing, she walks into the mountain expecting death.

Instead, she meets the Wolf God.

The bond between god and chosen bride is not a safe one. The transformation she has been offered is dangerous. Others have tried. Some did not survive. Some survived… and were hunted down by the people they once loved.

But returning to the village is no longer an option.

As Kaia’s body and desires begin to change, she is forced to confront a truth no one ever taught her: the greatest danger was never the god in the mountain, but the world that demanded she remain small, grateful, and silent. While priests scheme to reclaim control—and to punish her for refusing it—Kaia must decide what kind of monster she is willing to become.

Sacrificed to the Wolf God is a fairy-tale inspired dark fantasy romance featuring a sacrificial bride, primal transformation, and a heroine who discovers that becoming monstrous may be the only way to be free.

Perfect for fans of The Wolf and the Woodsman, Serpent & Dove, When the Moon Hatched, and other primal, myth-soaked romances where heroines choose their own transformation.

Myth, Fate and the Wolf God

Sacrificed to the Wolf God takes the idea of sacrifice to a god and asks what happens when the person offered refuses to remain merely an offering.

Through Kaia and the Wolf God, the novel explores the collision between divine power and mortal corruption, using fairytales, myths and folklore as the foundations for a new fantasy world rather than retelling a single surviving myth.

 

At its heart is the question that runs through the Claimed by Fate series: what really makes a monster, and who gets to decide?
