**Available on Amazon KU and paperback** All Bria wanted to do was go for a hike in her favorite Fjord. She didn't plan on falling through a stone portal into a new realm. *** Now, Bria is stuck in a land full of Vikings, where dark magic and war is all they know. But a myth tells of a warrior who will enter Volheimer and save them all, freeing them from their imprisonment between worlds. But Bria isn't anyone's savior. With no other choice before her, Bria starts to make a life for herself in the town of Daganold. She becomes fast friends with a Watcher named Emblyn and she certainly isn't falling in love with the king. *** Alarik is the new King of Daganold and he isn't ready. His father wasn't meant to die on the battlefield, not yet. But such is the will of the gods, damn them. He doesn't believe in the myth, in the stories they tell children to explain their existence. But when a woman with striking eyes and sharp witt falls into his care, he doesn't know what he believes anymore. Is it true? Is their time stuck between worlds truly coming to end? And if it is, was the king falling in love with the savior foretold, too?
