Can the truth-speaker’s promise of life from death really be for them?
After a year in captivity, Isa Bjorndottir feels dead inside. Restored to her mother, the Shieldmaiden of Volfsby, Isa watches life happening all around her, yet wants nothing more than to avoid every look or touch, even from those she loves. With her plan for adventure gone horribly wrong, she lives locked away in fear and shame—and then a final secret destroys even her tenuous peace.
As the fatherless son of an outcast, Reider Gunnersen knows plenty about shame. An outlaw on the run, he hopes to escape this land that’s brought nothing but death at every turn. His chance for that new start comes after a harrowing rescue, when he is given an unexpected assignment to guard a young woman who wants to hide as much as he does.
As one challenge after the next threatens his ability to protect Isa, Reider soon wonders if his presence is only putting her in greater danger. When his past catches up with him, will it destroy her only chance at a future?
