    "description": "Book 1 in a brand new series from bestselling author S.T. Bende.\n\nErik held me until my shoulders stopped shaking\u2014whether it was a minute or an hour, I couldn\u2019t tell. The only things I knew for sure were: (1)I was trapped a thousand years in the past, with little hope of ever going home. And, (2)I was wrapped in the arms of the most absurdly gorgeous Viking to have ever walked the face of the Earth. Maybe my old life was overrated.\n\nWhen seventeen-year-old Saga Sk\u00e5nstad discovers an antique dagger, she\u2019s instantly sucked into a world where Vikings rule the seas and dragons roam the skies, and the only thing more dangerous than the chief who takes her captive is the rival who steals her away. The heir of Norway\u2019s most feared tribe is fierce, cold, and absolutely unyielding. With intruders encroaching upon his borders, Erik Halvarsson has little patience for the girl whose ignorance threatens his very existence. He enlists Saga in the magical Valkyris Academy, where she learns the skills she\u2019ll need to protect herself from foreign raiders and domestic terrors. But nothing can protect her from falling for the one guy in all the world she\u2019s absolutely forbidden to choose . . . or from risking everything to unlock the secrets that haunt him.\n\nWhen darkness threatens Saga\u2019s new home, she must decide whether to return to the life she\u2019s always known, or fight for a love she never could have imagined. Her decision will determine a legacy\u2014not only for Saga, but for the world she never knew she was fated to lead.",
