Astrid, a Witch of the Ironwood, is content in her life. Her people live separately as a group of women who acknowledge no man’s rule, using sorcery to conceal and protect themselves. When Astrid’s vision reveals a quest with a warrior she has never met, she sets out to fulfill her destiny.
Huw is a Jomsviking, part of a legendary group of mercenary fighters whose reputation is both feared and admired. A ruthless warrior, he is used to having his every word obeyed without question.
Thrown together by a goddess with her own agenda, the witch and the warrior must find a way to defeat an ancient evil that has been resurrected. It threatens not only the Witches of the Ironwood, but to upset the balance of power forever. Each faces a dilemma. Astrid must choose between her beloved sisterhood and the warrior who commands her submission. Huw must decide between being a member of an ancient brotherhood and the woman who has captured his heart.
