When captured by the Wild Hunt, a mortal-scientist-turned-goddess doesn’t wait for Loki, her prince, to rescue her, but escapes to try to save herself and her unborn son.
When his worst fear comes true, Asgard's Black Prince will stop at nothing to rescue his pregnant consort and soulmate. Yet, not even the threat of Asgard's forces looming in the skies over Alfheim can force the Unseelie Winter Realm Elves to produce Shannon when she's missing from her cell. Nightmares of his previous wife's death at the hands of the Unseelie during the last war haunt Loki as he searches for Shannon.
A feisty, newly immortal Elven goddess, Shannon isn't the type to wait for rescue. Cut-off from connecting with Loki by a Dwarven iron cuff, she doesn't know who to trust. Although born on Alfheim, she has no memories of this planet or its realms. Surrounded by dark forces wielding the power of blood sacrifice, this goddess must rely on her wits and limited, dwindling energy resources that are critical for her and her child's survival. Only weeks remain in her pregnancy, and the Fates don't play fair. The cost to save her son may be more than her heart can bear.
Some truths are hard to swallow.
Some laws of the universe can't be fought.
If you enjoy Katee Robert's Dark Olympus series, Sarah J. Maas’ Throne of Glass, ACOTAR, or Crescent City series, Rebecca Yarros' Fourth Wing, or Nalini Singh’s Archangel series, you won’t be able to put down Loki and Shannon’s story. Don’t miss out on this second book of the Triquetra Prophecy and the Gods Among Us universe.
