All I ever wanted was to shift into a wolf and win Nordin Stormsson's forbidden heart.
My mother shattered the first dream when she confessed I was not a shifter but a valkyrie stranded far from my people, and Nordin shattered the second when he rejected me and claimed another as his mate.
I crossed beyond the wards to find my birth clan, and that freedom brought dragons, vampyrs, and enemy wolves hunting me through the dark.
Nordin followed as well, taking me before they could and stealing first my body, then my heart.
In the land of ice and wolves I let myself believe we might have a future, until the secret he had guarded most closely revealed a truth about my past.
That truth ruined all of us and left the life I knew at odds with a legacy I had never wanted.
