Mortals fear death. Immortals fear forever... When an army of mercenaries sweeps through a young girl's village and murders her parents, her life is set on a new course. After that she didn't have space to believe in anything other than becoming a weapon and cheating death with her closest companions. But an immortal, a goddess, a Valkyrie... changes everything. The stoic guardian watches over Tayah Ashrive now. But cracks start appearing past the cool, immortal demeanour and Tayah realises she may be the only soul to ever get close enough to see her truly. Their meeting will shape the destiny of both their futures-if they survive each other and dangerous growing feelings between them.

Once a young mercenary, now an immortal daughter of Odin. Tayah Ashrive has ascended from the mortal realm and is thrust into the realm of the gods. Valhalla. Commanding the power of immortal energy has never been more important, and never as difficult... Her Valkyrie, Stormbringer, Kára; is the best equipped to get her there. But she is sent back to the mortal realm to seal the fate of the former Captain of the Bear Clan-the ancient immortal, Anselle. Fate brings Tayah back to the mortal realm and much more trouble than she was ever prepared for in Valhalla. With so much at stake and her power very new, staying alive on the mortal realm becomes almost impossible. Especially when her feelings for a Valkyrie have never been deeper.

The gods have never been more alive. Or powerful. Tayah and Kára believe themselves to be the last surviving originals of the five gods, only they could not be more wrong. As Ares begins to make more sense in the realm of ill truths and lies, Tayah starts to fear what is really true or false. Stormbringer has vowed to stand beside her through anything but that becomes more difficult when the gods are now at odds. Caught between a brewing war of power and destruction the originals and companions are soon hunted by one much more dangerous than they have ever encountered. What is worse... Odin is firmly on high to ensure his hold on the realms never changes-no matter the cost. "The gods envy you. They always have."
