In Stolen Starlight

by Ashley Hagood

Viking huntress Jordis would rather face frost giants than an arranged marriage. But when she bolts from her wedding into the frozen forest, she finds something far deadlier than game: the radiant god of light, blessed with beauty—and bound for tragedy.

Baldur isn't just any immortal—he's the golden boy of Asgard, destined to die and trigger Ragnarok, the Viking apocalypse. His only hope of saving the nine realms? Finding a mortal woman strong enough to bear his child.

When he meets the fierce huntress with fire in her soul, he knows she's the one.

Too bad Jordis doesn't do destiny.

With frost giants advancing, divine family schemes unraveling, and apocalyptic prophecies closing in, Jordis must choose: keep fighting fate, or risk her heart on a love that could save the world—even if it means watching him die.
