Rejected (Shadow Beast Shifters Book 1)

Rejected is the first book in Jaymin Eve's Shadow Beast Shifters trilogy. As a wolf shifter in a strong pack, the protagonist should be thriving, but her father's attempt to kill the pack leader has left her labeled an outcast and traitor. When pack life becomes unbearable, she runs, only to be dragged back by Torin, the leader's son, before her first shift—the moment when her true mate will be revealed. The protagonist's mate turns out to be someone unexpected, but her hope for a brighter future is shattered when he rejects her. During a wolf attack, she reaches toward the shadow realm in her desperation for vengeance, and the Shadow Beast—their shifter god—answers her call and enters the world. Her rejection by her mate marks only the beginning of a larger conflict. The book combines paranormal romance with dark themes, humor, action, and a strong female protagonist alongside a morally gray antihero character. It features shifters, magical realms, and steamy content.
