"That conversation happened a long time ago, and he didn't say whether he wanted you dead . . . or something worse." My one true love has vanished into the past so I can seize my destiny here in the present day. It could honestly be worse. Married to my fated mate, raising his children, reforming my people's chauvinistic culture. I'm finally getting the life I always wanted, right? Too bad Wuotan really has it out for me now. When my loved ones start meeting gruesome fates one by one, that peaceful life of mine crumbles into dust. Apparently, my ancient enemies have learned that I wield the power to travel time. And if I don't hand it over to them so they can wreak havoc on the Teuton people, they'll butcher everyone I love. What's more precious to me: the people I hold dear, or the world at large? No pressure. *If you like dark paranormal fantasies with secret societies, sinister murders, tough choices, and unexpected twists, this is for you.
