Valkyrie-in-training Bryn Halbrook just can't catch a break. With her boyfriend stuck in Hel and the taunting laughter of Loki still ringing in her ears, she struggles to concentrate on her training and duties in Odin's realm. The last thing she expects or wants is more adventure-but then treachery, a shocking abduction, and a chilling discovery send her forth on another perilous, globe-hopping mission. As the ultimate battle, Ragnarok, draws closer, it's a race against time for Bryn, Fenrir and their team to discover who kidnapped her foster brother from the halls of Asgard and what's causing the mysterious deaths of so many of Odin's chosen warriors. In the exciting sequel to "Dead Radiance," Bryn encounters dwarfs and dragons, new friends and old foes-but the worst enemy of all may be the person she trusts most.
