Description From the bestselling author of The Bridge Kingdom series comes a gripping Norse-inspired fantasy romance filled with magic, destiny, and forbidden desire. Freya dreams of being a warrior, not a fisherman’s wife—but everything changes when a betrayal forces her to reveal a dangerous secret: she’s a shield maiden, blessed with divine magic. Prophecy says her power could unite the fractured land of Skaland, and now the ruthless jarl who seeks the throne has claimed her fate. Sworn to serve and protected by the jarl’s fiery son, Bjorn, Freya must learn to harness her power and survive trials set by the gods. But her greatest challenge may be resisting the pull of a forbidden romance that could doom them all. Packed with action, passion, and mythic magic, this epic tale of strength and sacrifice will leave readers breathless.
