Freya has never had control over her own life. She is destined to marry successfully, become an impeccable mistress of her home, and forever forget her dream of defending her people shoulder to shoulder with the warriors.
But everything falls apart the moment Freya’s husband decides to sell her to the local jarl. He forces the fragile girl to fight to the death against his son, Bjorne—an cruel and alluring demigod whose flame can both scorch and warm…
To stay alive, Freya must reveal the most terrible secret. She is the daughter of a goddess. Her magic may be the key to uniting the lands of Skalland, and so she is hunted by all who hunger for power.
What will Freya choose? To submit and become the jarl’s weapon—or to challenge the gods for a chance at love?
