Synopsis
If I am to survive Valkyrie training, I must earn my wings. If I am to survive Kain, I must make a choice that could burn our world to ash. I’m broken. My fae magic doesn’t work and nobody knows I exist. My sister, on the other hand, is bound for glory. She has been selected to train to be a Valkyrie at the mythical Featherblade Hall. I am destined to die alone, in my tower. Only, when the Valkyrie come to collect my sister, they take me instead. I’m not the only one who thinks they’ve made a terrible mistake. Every other fae here is waiting for me to die. Except one. Kain, the disgraced fire-fae combat trainer. The gods took his wings away, he can’t leave Featherblade, and he makes no secret of his blazing desire for revenge. And somehow, he knows I’m the only one who can help him. He doesn’t know my secret, thank the fates, but his burning gaze never leaves me. I know I should avoid him. I can’t think straight when he’s near me, and he’s as lethal as Featherblade is. But, the only thing harder than earning my wings and becoming a Valkyrie? Conquering my searing obsession with the unhinged fire-fae, before it gets everyone killed. Fae Vikings meet romantasy in this enemies to love
