Wolf Queen Ruin
Find the Shadow Fang. Pay the price.
Luna Rookwood—former wolf shifter (long story) and current tomb raider—has stolen a lot of things. But this time, she’s chasing something she actually wants: the legendary Shadow Fang, a mythical artifact rumored to cure any illness.
She needs it. Badly.
There’s just one problem. Actually, three.
First, no one knows if the damn thing even exists.
Second, she’ll have to infiltrate a high-security masquerade ball just to get a lead.
Third, she’s stuck working with Damien Cross.
He’s a 360-year-old vampire with too many secrets, too much sex appeal, and the kind of complicated past that sets off warning bells.
Their first clue points to the Wolf Queen’s Crypt, buried in the heart of a jungle so deadly, most maps just label it Don’t.
So…that should be fun.
Soon, Luna and Damien are dodging rival tomb raiders, ancient curses, and warring supernatural factions. And as the danger builds, so does the heat between them—a heat that could get them both killed.
The Shadow Fang could save a life.
But claiming it might cost them their souls…and lead them straight into ruin.
If you love the addictive supernatural chemistry of Ilona Andrews, the steamy fantasy romances of Sarah J. Maas, the immortal bad boys of Kresley Cole, and the intense paranormal worlds of Nalini Singh, then you'll love WOLF QUEEN RUIN. One-click today!

This was so good! A blend of paranormal, tomb raider and Indiana jones as we embark on an exciting journey to find the legendary Shadow Fang, a mythical artifact rumoured to cure any illness. Vampires and werewolves, danger and adventure, drama and subterfuge as we follow Luna and Damien on an incredible and fascinating journey deep into the jungle. Well paced, exciting and very addictive, I look forward to continuing the adventure in the next book!

Oh. My. Wolf. Wolf Queen Ruin by Lindsey R. Loucks was exactly the kind of wild, heart-thumping, edge-of-your-seat adventure I didn’t know I needed—but now I can’t live without. From my point of view, this book had everything I love: a badass heroine, dangerous treasures, supernatural tension, and a broody vampire who makes every page sizzle.
Luna Rookwood is my new kind of heroine—sassy, resourceful, and not afraid to wade straight into danger even when every instinct screams, “Run!” I loved watching her balance her tomb raider instincts with her complicated past as a wolf shifter, all while dodging traps, rival raiders, and curses that would make lesser mortals curl up in a corner.
Then there’s Damien Cross. Holy…danger. Broody, centuries-old, sexy as hell, and hiding secrets that have my head spinning. Their chemistry? Absolutely scorching. Every interaction crackled with tension, and the slow build of their alliance-to-enemies-to-something-way-hotter kept me flipping pages like a lunatic.
The plot itself? Pure adventure perfection. Masquerade balls, jungle crypts labeled “Don’t”, ancient curses, and rival factions all vying for the same artifact—the Shadow Fang. I was holding my breath, laughing, gasping, and occasionally muttering, “Nope, nope, nope!” right alongside Luna. Lindsey R. Loucks knows how to keep the stakes high and the thrills higher.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – Action-packed, sexy, and wickedly fun, Wolf Queen Ruin is my kind of supernatural romp. If you love tomb raiding, wolf shifters, vampires with attitude, and danger that keeps your heart racing, this is one you absolutely cannot miss. I’m already counting the days until the next installment…because yes, I’m hooked.

Wolf Queen Ruin, the first installment in Lindsay Loucks' Shadow Fang duology, will pick you up, spin you around like a tornado, then set you down in the eye to await book 2! Based on a tomb raider theme, it is also jam packed with danger, adventure, subterfuge, bonding, attraction, dedication and desperation. I thoroughly enjoyed both main characters, as Grace and Damien each brought something unique to the story while sharing a common goal. The storyline is fast-paced, well written and unique. I liked the tomb raider aspect, especially when coupled with their shared desperation to fin the Shadow Fang. I highly recommend Wolf Queen Ruin, and am definitely looking forward to book 2.

Book 1 of Shadow Fang Series. I loved this book. This is a mix of Indiana Jones/Tomb Raider, with werewolves and vampires. Luna is so witty and resourceful, Damien is her backer, then partner. The care that Luna and Damien have for each other is a great start to a real relationship. I can’t wait to continue this series! Book 2 can’t come fast enough.

This story had treasure hunts and Indiana Jones style adventure mixed in with the paranormal. There was action, danger and a few twists as well. I loved the story and can't wait for the next book.

Ooh, great start to a new series. Tomb raiding, vampires and wolf shifters, I mean, what’s not to love. There doesn’t seem much that Lindsey can’t put her pen too. Can’t wait to dive straight into book 2
