Asulf, the most feared young warrior in the North, was raised to lead. Admired for the icy fury that makes him invincible in battle, he has always believed he knew who he was and what future awaited him.
He was wrong.
The father he worshiped lied to him his entire life.
The woman he loves was ripped away from him.
Hunted and broken, he has only one option left: flee.
At his side, two unlikely allies: a former rival with nothing left to lose, and Eldrid, a fierce woman and warrior in the making who bows to no one.
But in a world where the gods meddle in the affairs of men, Asulf’s past comes for himand threatens to destroy everything he swore to protect. His only chance lies in the sword he carries, a blade coveted by all. Not just a weapon, but a prison of steel where a Valkyrie and a demon wage an endless war. Every time he draws it, he risks losing his soul.
Only love might save him from becoming the monster he was born to fight.
Eyes of Steel: Rise is the first of a completed four-book saga, perfect for readers who crave visceral stories that will leave you breathless and haunt you long after the final page.
