Thirteen Zodiac Assassins
Forged in the Darkness of the InBetween,
Ruled by the Shadow Side of their Stars,
The Only Hope for the Light of Humanity.
What Would You Sacrifice For Your People?
The Valkyrie horde and their horses are dying.
For years Bryn dreamed of becoming a Valkyrie horsemaster, but as the years have passed, the horses have ceased to fly, and she's come instead to witness nothing but funeral pyres and empty cribs. Terrified for her people, she leaves everything she knows to find the disgraced Valkyrie Rota and force her to save the horde before it's too late.
A disgraced Valkyrie with a solution no one wants to hear.
Rota knows the Valkyrie need only honor their oath to Odin to save themselves and their horses, but she's been run out of the horde for suggesting it. Now a Valkyrie has shown up, demanding Rota help the horde, demanding Rota risk everything she's built for a people who won't help themselves.
An enemy trying to destroy them both.
When Bryn's actions provoke a dangerous adversary, putting Rota, her horses, and the ones she's vowed to save, at risk, the question of whether Bryn will have to return empty-handed becomes a question of whether she'll live to return at all.
