'Brenna and Vali's young love is torn apart when the King offers Brenna's hand in marriage to the Jarl of his most important trading centre, Birca. Believing this to be the will of the gods and a prophecy revealed to Brenna as a child, she agrees to the marriage.
'Death brings Brenna and Vali back together to defend Birca. As their love is rekindled, Brenna must choose between Vali and the prophecy once more.
'Her fate has been determined by the gods, but is it the destiny Brenna has always believed in?'
