Everyone believes the Silver Moon line died out long ago. Sera stands by the festival fire being called a fraud to her face, and Roderick drops to one knee and calls her queen. That night she tears off an eighteen-year mask and puts the truth of her mother's death on the altar for the whole pack to see.
The Silver Moon wolf princess Sera is branded with dishonourable blood the day she is born, loses her mother on the altar, and is carried away by an elder who hides her for eighteen years. On Moon Festival night she comes back masked, while Queen Marisel takes the homage of every wolf and the Northern Alpha Roderick walks past all of them to stand in front of her.
