HE DEFIED HIS PACK TO LOVE ME
I had two childhood dreams: to shift into a wolf, and to win Nordin Stormsson's forbidden heart.
My first dream shattered the day my mother confessed I wasn't a shifter, but a valkyrie―stranded in a land far from my people. My second was crushed when Nordin rejected me…only to claim another as his mate.
So I ran. Heartbroken, I crossed beyond the wards in search of my birth clan. But freedom came at a cost. Dragons, vampyrs, and enemy wolves stalked me through the dark. They weren't the only ones who came after me, though.
Nordin came too. He seized me before they could, stealing my body and then my heart.
For a time, I dared to dream once more, to imagine a future with Nordin in the land of ice and wolves.
Until I uncovered his most closely guarded secret.
A truth about my past.
One that ruined us all.
