"A fast-paced fantasy adventure with a strong, relatable protagonist. Highly recommended — loved it!" – The Wishing Shelf A hidden world. A forbidden power. A truth that changes everything. Seventeen-year-old Ariessy has spent her life in the shadows—one of many powerful sorceresses created by the Norse gods, hidden from humanity and monitored by the Vald, an elite force of wolf-shifters sworn to protect Earth from supernatural threats. But when she's accused of using outlawed magic to save her dying father, the wolves uncover a far more dangerous truth: the real threat isn't the crime she didn't commit—it's the secrets buried deep in her bloodline. With her grandmother missing and dark forces rising, Ariessy refuses to be bound by laws designed to control her. And with Hale by her side—torn between duty and something deeper—she must embrace the power within… or risk losing everything. In a world where love, loyalty, and power can be deadly, the truth might be her only weapon. Perfect for fans of slow-burn fantasy, Norse mythology, and emotional coming-of-age stories.
