He was bred for war. Her magic is only for peace. Together they must fight for love.
Guardians of Light, Book 7
Weapons stolen, comrades dead, ship burned and sunk, Valkyn is rotting in Lord Zurvan's grim dungeon, wondering if he will ever again see his sons. Rescue comes from an unexpected source—the human witch Zurvan sent to patch him up between beatings.
Mari can't bring herself to let Valkyn die, never mind that the fearsome northern riever is the scourge of her homeland. Yet in him she finds an ally who could help restore the rightful boy king to the throne. And a man who reminds her body there's life after widowhood.
Their first kiss unleashes pent-up passion she thought was long buried, clouding all the reasons they shouldn't get involved. But the blood on Valkyn's hands is anathema to Mari's magic. If she dares open herself to him fully, he could destroy her.
Valkyn knows his heart has already surrendered to hers. When this quest is over, the real quest will be convincing her that polar opposites not only attract, they belong together—forever.
