Whispers of the Phantom

Feared across the Archipelago as an unseen shadow, Hela Grimborn-the youngest of Viggo and Ryker Grimborn's bloodline-has built her name on silence, precision, and death. With her Silver Phantom, Sluth, at her side, she was the perfect weapon: invisible, unstoppable, untouchable. But when Viggo sends her to infiltrate Hiccup's riders, she finds herself caught in a war she never asked to fight.

Disguised as a lone wanderer, Hela plays her part well, feeding Viggo information while testing the trust of the dragon riders. Yet the longer she remains among them, the harder it becomes to ignore the bond she feels-not only with their dragons, but with Hiccup himself, whose vision of peace stirs something long buried within her.

Torn between blood and freedom, lies and truth, Hela must decide what kind of legend she wants to leave behind: a phantom of fear, or a rider worth remembering.
