A dark, high-heat dystopian romance about a brotherhood of modern-day Vikings from USA Today bestseller Megan Crane. Perfect for fans of Laura Thalassa and L.J. Shen.

In a world of ruin, love is the most dangerous gamble of all.

A century after the storms drowned the old world, splintered kingdoms claw for survival. Among the most feared are the raiders—Viking-blooded warriors bound by blood oath and brutal code.

Tyr is one of their fiercest. He fights for his king. He kills for his clan. And he does not hesitate.

During a savage raid, he captures Helena—a defiant outsider with fire in her eyes and secrets she won’t surrender. She refuses to bow. Refuses to belong. Refuses to fear him.

What begins as captivity turns raw, filthy, and dangerously addictive. Helena awakens something in Tyr that has nothing to do with loyalty or vengeance. Something possessive. Something all-consuming.

But Helena is running—from a man who would force her to change, from enemies who want what she carries, and from a mission that could fracture the fragile balance between kingdoms.

When those threats follow her into raider territory, they won’t be facing a king.

They’ll be facing Tyr.

And he’ll destroy anyone who threatens what belongs to him.

In a shattered world ruled by blood and oath, love isn’t gentle.

It’s war.

For readers who crave dark, high-heat romance in a ruthless post-collapse world.
