Charlie Hudson awakens after her Trial to a shattered reality: the king of the gods threatens Asgard, she's stranded far from loved ones, and she's become a night mare. Trapped in Helheim Palace, she must master unstable shadow magic among hostile mares who would betray her if they knew she's Loki's heir. Her only ally is Elias Everhart, once her enemy, now her closest support--yet their growing bond fuels her dangerous darkness. As war looms, Charlie races to control her powers and her heart, knowing that if the gods don't destroy her first, love just might.
