She won the war for the Empire, but lost the battle of her heart. Now, she's returning to face the ruins she left behind. Vhalla Yarl has earned her freedom. After the war, after the heartbreak, she disappeared. But peace is fleeting when you have a rare elemental magic and are the Empire's hero. A dangerous faction hunts her as old enemies close in. The Emperor resents the strength she now wields. The Senate's leader knows more about her power than he lets on. Shadowy forces plot to use her to unlock an ancient, forbidden magic. But nothing is more dangerous than the pull she still feels toward the Crown Prince. Bound by magic and a passion that refuses to fade, Vhalla and Aldrik can't stay away from each other. In royal courts and secret corridors, they're drawn together even as the world demands they stay apart. Their love is more dangerous and more forbidden than ever. When a trusted ally capitalizes on a tragedy to reveal himself as the true puppet master, everything unravels. Thrones will fall. New crowns will be forged. And Vhalla will once again find herself on the run... Only this time, she's not alone. To survive what's coming, Vhalla and Aldrik must fight not just for justice, but for the love they once thought lost forever.
