**Valhalla: Where Legends Are Forged**
In a world where the streets hold more secrets than they do promises, Valhalla emerges-not just as a gang, but as a sanctuary for the broken, the lost, and the fearless. Born from the ashes of betrayal and despair, Valhalla is a place where strength is measured not only by fists but by loyalty, where bonds are stronger than steel, and where every member is a story waiting to be told.
Led by the indomitable Hanma, a leader as cold as ice but with a heart that burns for those he calls his own, Valhalla stands at the crossroads of power and purpose. With Kazutora, the soul of the gang who's fought his way through the darkest of nights, and Nahoya, the ever-smiling warrior masking his own scars, Valhalla is a testament to resilience in a world that tries to break them at every turn.
But Valhalla isn't just a gang-it's a haven for those who refuse to be defined by their pasts. Here, the weak become strong, the silent find their voice, and every member is bound by an unspoken oath: to protect, to fight, and to rise together. It's a place where even in their darkest moments, they find light in each other.
In the heart of the city, where dreams are often shattered, Valhalla stands tall-a brotherhood of rebels, fighters, and survivors. Here, legends aren't born; they're forged. Welcome to Valhalla: the last refuge of those Who refuse to be forgotten.
[WATTY'S 2024 SHORTLIST] When the Ravos Kingdom abducts the Nyrial Emperor's dragon, princess Aeryn Glastos must marry the demon prince planning her assassination to save her empire and end the war while guarding her heart and a dangerous secret.
------------
The twenty-two-year-old draconian princess is starting her final year at Insignia Academy during the height of the war between the draconians and demons. Aeryn's dream is to graduate as a bonded Champion in the Fire Force and fight in the war. The only problem is, she is the only draconian to never receive a power by age twenty. Ashamed of his powerless daughter, the emperor of the Nyrial Empire proposes a marriage between Aeryn and the Ravos Kingdom's demon prince to end the war and get his dragon back.
Shade Cross is ruthless, cunning, and dangerously powerful. Everything he touches dies, except Aeryn. He awakens something in her she has never felt before and she acquires not one, but two powers. She must navigate both nations built upon lies, betrayals, a forbidden alliance, and a deadly curse. When she discovers the truth about her empire, she must make a choice: protect the secrets and save her father, or side with the enemy. Aeryn needs to be careful because when it reigns, it pours, and she is caught right in the middle of a feuding storm between both nations.
