Rune strikes a deal with a Norse god: the eternal heart of the Chieftain's son, and in return, she will make this god revered among the clan. Then, out of nowhere, the boy pledges to Rune's sister instead. In her anger, she renounces the gods, something that's never been done before. To hide this crack in faith, the gods snatch her from Earth and thrust her into Asgard, claiming she's a lost goddess. It becomes clear someone has a deeper purpose for her here, but Rune can't guess who, or what her role is in their games. Desperate, she strikes a second deal with a god--one who might be as broken and twisted as she, and quite possibly more capable of breaking her heart than anyone. As her Viking past, and the boy she left behind, find a way into Asgard, it's promised that someone's heart will be slaughtered. She can only hope to be long gone before it all crashes down.--
