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 the moment 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.
Brought together by magic and destiny, Astrid and Declan have no choice but to navigate the turbulent times following the Battle of Largs when Scotland and Norway are more at odds than ever. If that isn't enough, they must also try to deny their forbidden feelings for one another whilst aiding Scotland's King Alexander in ways that will either help bring peace or do the very opposite.
Will they succeed in ushering in a brighter future for both their countries? Or will their own personal battle against their unstoppable love for each other leave nothing but mayhem in their wake?
