Soldiers bring her to a town where a grieving blacksmith, only two months a widow, seems like the last possible choice to take her in. Nora Carver knows steel and flame. She knows what it is to be broken and reforged and broken again. So when her friend beseeches her to take the quiet, mysterious girl orphaned by the raid, Nora reluctantly agrees. Together they learn to heal, to find a new meaning to the word "family", just before a man with eyes like the child's shows up and threatens everything. Nora learns just how far she will go to protect her daughter, even if that means standing against the broken laws of her country, and a soulless witch thirsty for blood.All Rights Reserved

Following this incident, she was drawn into a world completely foreign to her, where she struggled to adapt to her new life. I was face to face with death. I knew it. I hadn't even realized when his hand had grasped mine. Fear overshadowed all my senses. But after what felt like an eternity, I finally felt my wrist. He was gripping it so tightly that blood could no longer flow to my hand. As I lowered my head to look at the hand clutching my wrist, he used his other hand to grab my chin, turning my face toward his. Then, he pressed his lips to mine. I stood frozen for a moment. Then, I let myself go. For a fleeting instant, he seemed to let himself go too. And then, just like that, he was gone. In an instant, he had vanished. The hand gripping my wrist, the lips pressing against mine-gone. And I was left standing there, completely stunned. It felt as though I had forgotten my own name. I started to tremble. My legs gave out beneath me, and I collapsed to the ground. Sitting there, shaking in shock, I finally understood what he was.
