Freya, a fearless shield maiden, is shackled by prophecy and haunted by the betrayal of Bjorn—the man who shattered her heart. With the revelation of her divine heritage, she stands on a precipice where the magic in her blood could claim thousands of lives.

Desperate to rewrite her fate, she risks everything by allying with Skaland’s greatest enemy, seeking answers from the elusive seer who not only foretold her future but also sent Bjorn to kill her. Bound by blood oaths, Freya must keep Bjorn close, even as anger and desire blaze between them, and his growing distrust threatens to tear them apart.

Her journey plunges her into an ancient conflict, embroiling her with Nordeland’s Unfated—god-born warriors serving the king she was taught to fear. Yet, unlike Bjorn, this formidable king now fights by her side.

As war looms and the lines between allies and enemies blur, Freya must confront the battle within herself. With the magic of two goddesses coursing through her veins, she holds the power to weave her own destiny. Will she become the shield that protects her people, or the curse that destroys them?

The fate of mortals and gods alike rests in her hands. The threads of destiny are tightening, and time is running out.
