Their love has never been stronger. Their doom has never been closer. After saving her brother from certain death, Astrid realizes the worst is far from over. When Odgar’s men take Castle Moyer, the man she loves loses everything: his home, his brother, his mother, and everything he fought so hard to earn. Astrid knew that Ian might forgive her for betraying his trust, but his clan would never. With the Norsemen still holding the people of Skye hostage, their only hope is to take a final stand and defend what is left of it… Or die trying. With Ayleen, Blair, Eddard, Agnes, Isobel and Roderick by their side, Ian and Astrid will take down anyone who stands in their path for a chance at freedom. And when they discover where Odgar had hidden his ships thanks to Hallbjorn’s plan, victory suddenly appears on the horizon. But Astrid knows she and Ian haven’t faced their biggest hurdle yet… One that lies between her and the man who saved her life. Ian fears he will never be able to give her a family or a chance at a normal life. But all Astrid ever wanted was him. Can they find it in their hearts to forgive each other for the unbearable loss and tragedy their flaming passion brought upon their lives?
