With Shield and Ink and Bone

LIV
Days before she is to take her place as a shield maiden, Liv's village is savagely attacked, her family slaughtered. Left for dead, she pleads to Skuld - norn and weaver of the future - and a deal is struck that will endow her with the dark magic needed to claim her vengeance. But this power comes at an unfathomable price...

CALDER
After his home falls to a berserker clan, Calder races to warn neighboring villages of the threat. Little does he know he's traveling into the path of fate that will lead him straight to Liv. Despite being broken, angry, and overwhelmed by power she cannot contain, it's her willingness to defend others that draws Calder to her.

Together, Liv and Calder discover they are opposite sides of the same sharpened blade. Rising from the heartache and fury in their pasts, they see a future together worth fighting for. With their strengths and hearts combined, can they become a force powerful enough to defeat the fleet of darkness coming for them? Or will the thread of fate that binds them unravel?

Perfect for fans Adrienne Young and Tricia Levenseller.
