He looks like a Viking ready to raid, but can she trust him?

Egon Hoffstad, half Viking, half Scot, is torn between two worlds. With long hair and Thor's hammer resting on his chest, he dreams of sailing the seas like his Norse ancestors. But his Scottish Laird father demands he embrace leadership, sending him to aid a village ravaged by a brutal attack.

Amidst the ruins, Egon encounters Caoimhe, a fierce lass determined to find her missing father. To her, Egon embodies the very invaders who destroyed her home, and she rejects his offer of help. When her sister introduces another half-Viking suitor—a man who is Egon's sworn enemy—Caoimhe sees a chance to find her father, even if it means allying with a treacherous snake.

Refusing to leave her side, Egon joins their quest, sensing danger in her new betrothed. As they journey together, mistrust and hidden motives weave a tangled web. Caoimhe's memories of the raid resurface, and she begins to suspect that Egon himself may be one of the attackers.

Is Egon hiding a dark secret? Has Caoimhe been ensnared in a masterful plan where allies are foes and enemies wear the guise of friends?

In a world where loyalty is tested and truths are shadowed, the line between friend and foe blurs. Their fates are intertwined—but will it lead to salvation or destruction?
