Ever Chace is a Valkyrie, but not just any kind of Valkyrie-she’s a Valkyrie queen in the building.

Torn between the recent and present, like and obligation, Ever is terrified of saying the words that could break the curse she is bound to. Pushing Derek aside hasn’t simplified stuff; it has just made her unpleasant. With her dad waking, and her and Derek’s lives on the line, can she actually shy away from who and what she is becoming? How long can Ever keep her past lives a secret?

Pushing thoughts of his mate aside, Derek tries to spotlight the duty at hand-tracking straight down a monster that leaves nothing but a husk behind. But Ever is certainly never really off his mind, even as two of his very own become targets of the unsub. Can he collection his personal interruptions aside to maintain his group alive?

Contains mature themes.
