Description

She has lost everything...her only hope is the mate Odin promised

Lone wolf, Kristin Andersen, has been adrift from her race since childhood when a monster-shifter killed her family. Now, she’s disguised her scent and infiltrated a dominant Montana pack, hoping to find the murderer. She wants vengeance, and she’s powerful enough to get it. Except being with the other wolves and the pack’s Alpha, Erik, makes her want more. She longs to belong—with Erik and with the pack.

He will sacrifice everything to save the world…even his fated mate

Alpha wolf, Erik Kron, doesn’t have time for love. A curse has ravaged his pack, Odin has bestowed upon him a cryptic prophecy, and a human woman—who sets his wolf on fire—has started work in the den. He longs to claim her, but he needs to stay focused. Otherwise, Fenrir, son of Loki, will be unleashed. And even the Gods will die in the coming apocalypse—Ragnarök.

But then Erik discovers Kristin’s secret, and he fears her desire for retribution will tip the balance toward ultimate destruction. Though he burns for her, he must stop her. Even if it means losing her forever.

Advance Praise

“Layne does a fantastic job of weaving Norse myths throughout her modern paranormal romance, set in the wilds of Montana. We visit Asgard, meet Odin, battle Loki’s grandchildren, hit a nightclub, all while hanging with a beautiful, gifted artist, still trying to make peace with her tragic childhood, and a wickedly hot Alpha, doing his best to keep his pack safe while staving off Ragnarök. Sexy times ensue. The world Layne has created is easy to fall into and difficult to drag yourself back out of. I can’t wait for the next stories in the Wolves of Odin series!”

—Seana Kelly, USA Today Best-selling author of the Sam Quinn series
