A few months ago, Bryn was just a girl living in the remote fae village that she had built a life in after being abandoned as a baby. Now she's living in the human realm and getting a crash course on everything from coffee to supernatural politics. She also finally knows what she is-a valkyrie. Sworn to protect Finn, the son of the exiled fae King, Bryn is determined to live up to her role as his guardian.


Her new friends are helping as much as they can, but none of them can help her master her magic. When Nemain arranges for Bryn to meet with Sigrun, an old valkyrie with a complicated history of her own, she jumps at the chance. Unfortunately Sigrun wants nothing to do with training a new valkyrie.


Bryn is determined to change her mind and enlists the help of the dark-haired and clever Elisa to help. But the deeper she dives into Sigrun's life, the clearer it becomes that the valkyrie warrior might need Bryn as much as Bryn needs her.
