The first book in a thrilling new adult Viking fae romantasy trilogy, perfect for fans of Fourth Wing, The Vikings and Sarah J. Maas. She wants to earn her Valkyrie wings. He wants to burn every Valkyrie to ash. Princess Maddy is the Ice Court's best kept secret; only her family knows what she can really do - and how dangerous it is for her to leave her tower. Until destiny comes for her and Maddy is selected by the gods to train at Featherblade academy. She must build her strength, bond with an ancient animal and survive the Wild Hunt if she wishes to become a Valkyrie, all while keeping her secret hidden, and figuring out who she can trust. At the bottom of that list is Kain the Ruinous, disgraced fire fae and self-proclaimed villain of Featherblade. Maddy knows she should avoid him, but when he's standing before her, fire in his eyes and heat blazing from his cursed skin, Maddy fears she would let the world go up in flames if he told her to. And if she's not strong enough, that may be exactly what happens. . . This deliciously slow-burn romantasy series is perfect for readers who love:Slow-burn romanceEnemies to loversElemental magicMorally grey MMCBurn the world down for herFound familyTraining academy
