Viktoria likes her simple life, but this Maiden of Pohjola is far from a simple girl. Jael, an assassin trained by the Old Man of the Mountain almost four thousand years ago, has never had a target like her. Little does he know falling in love with a vampire could result in Viktoria being imprisoned forever. For the last thousand years, Viktoria's only goal has been to earn her freedom. She made a deal with Louhi, Goddess of Witchcraft and Death, and the penalty for losing is imprisonment forever - not only for Viktoria, but all twelve of her sisters. She can't let them down, even if it costs her the thing she's always wanted - love. Jael has dedicated his existence to finding the mage who murdered his family to avenge his wife and daughter. But the glimpse of a future with his Drag¿ makes him see possibilities he'd thought long lost. The Spider Mage sets his sights on Viktoria, sending Jael into danger to protect her, and Viktoria is forced to make an impossible choice - her freedom or his life. This is a sexy, happily-ever-after, soulmate novel with no fade to black scenes, cheating, or cliffhangers. It's a fast-paced story that blends romance, mythology, humor, and adventure. While a little more of the Drag¿verse is revealed as the series progresses, the romance in each novel focuses on one couple, and can be read as a standalone.
