The daughter of an English farmer—plagued by vivid dreams and sinister voices—might be the one blessed by Freyja to protect a Viking clan on the brink of war with the gods.

He is her sin. She is his salvation. 

Consumed with grief, Elara struggles to move forward, doing her best to care for her father. 

For years, Elara’s dreams foreshadowed the future, something she firmly ignored.

Until now.

Now, it begs for attention, showing her visions of ash and smoke and a man who terrifies her.

Then, there are the voices—disembodied, haunting, and insistent. The unseen whispers call to her, beckoning towards something foreboding.

A mysterious woman appears, and Elara isn’t sure whether it’s a dream or something worse when the shimmering figure grants her a boon for protection.

A massive black panther, dripping with shadow.

When the dreams of ash turn real, Elara finds her father at the mercy of a hulking warrior. Driven by instinct, Elara flings herself between the man and her father, offering him anything to keep her father safe.

To her surprise, the warrior accepted her offer.

Except what he wants isn't silver.

What he wants is a war prize.

What he wants is her.

Heart of the Panther is short form, Viking romantasy with touch her die, shadow kitty, enemies to lovers, reluctant mates, and an MMC who is soft only for her.

It is Book 2 in the Cold Hearts Series, but can be read as a standalone with its own happily ever after.
