She's dreamed his face for a thousand nights. He's crossed an ocean to find hers.

Sorcha Blackmere is the most powerful seer born in generations?a grove priestess sworn to celibacy, her body and gifts devoted to the sentient land that speaks through her. She has spent years seeing visions of a golden-haired stranger: beautiful, blood-handed, and dangerous beyond measure. The prophecies say he will either seal the land's wounds or tear them open forever.

Eirik Stonecroft is half-Norse, half-native, and torn between two worlds. Raised among raiders, he's been haunted since boyhood by dreams of a woman made of moonlight?a woman his gods call his fate. When he returns to the Ironcoast to claim his inheritance, the moment he sees Sorcha in the sacred grove, he falls to his knees. She is everything he's dreamed. And everything the prophecy warned against.

Forbidden to touch and unable to stay apart, Sorcha and Eirik are drawn together by a force older than any oath. But their union unlocks a truth that shakes the foundations of everything: the land isn't merely magical?it is alive, aware, and carrying a wound that has festered for three generations. The grove has been waiting for them. And what it reveals will change the fate of every clan.

To save their world, a priestess must shatter her vows, a raider must surrender to a power greater than his gods, and both must trust that love?freely chosen?can heal what blood alone never could.
