This winter is the most long-awaited in Tiris’s life. At last, she will travel to distant northern lands to marry the influential lord Krister. The journey is dangerous, so a lady must be accompanied by the best guard.
Idar the Tracker is clever, fearless, famed for his strength and knows the northern route well. It would seem there’s no one better for protecting Tiris. But the lady isn’t thrilled with such a companion, and Tracker didn’t think a woman could cause more trouble than even the fiercest snowstorm.
As Idar and Tiris set out, they still don’t know what great secret fate will reveal to them. A secret that could bind them forever—or separate them forever.
