When a shield-maiden touched by the Valkyries is sent to Scotland to bring peace and find an advantageous marriage, a steamy, forbidden love ignites that could alter the course of fate.
Astrid- Born of seers and Vikings of old, I never could have imagined my father ordering me to go to the distant shores of Scotland.
Nor could I have foreseen that I would end up desiring renowned warrior Declan Mackay. Not only did he consider my people the enemy, but worse still, he was the son of the man I was to marry.
Declan- From themoment I locked eyes with Astrid Helvig, I knew she could very well be my ruin.
How else could it be when I considered her and her people my enemy, yet I still craved her fiercely regardless?
Yet when I learned she would be marrying my father, I knew I had to push past my desire for her, no matter what it took, even though I feared she already owned my heart.
