Dreams of Ruin: The third book in the gripping YA fantasy series, merging high school paranormal romance with Norse mythology

SOME DESTINIES ARE WRITTEN IN THE STARS. HERS WAS FORGED IN SHADOW.

Vampire Diaries meets A Fate Inked in Blood in this breath-taking YA fantasy series that merges high school paranormal romance with Norse mythology.

When Charlie Hudson awakens after her Trial, she discovers that nothing will ever be the same.

The king of the gods is plotting to destroy Asgard. Charlie and her brother are stranded a world away from the people they love most. Worst of all, she's become the very thing she fears most: a night mare.

Charlie's transition is anything but smooth. Trapped in Helheim Palace, she must train her new shadow magic alongside dozens of soulless mares who would gladly hand her over to the enemy if they discovered she's Loki's true heir.

Her only hope is Elias Everhart, her once-sworn enemy who has somehow become one of her closest allies.

He's promised to help her master her mare abilities, simple enough in theory, if her magic weren't malfunctioning . . .

And if being near Elias didn't make the darkness within her grow stronger with every passing day.

With the fate of Asgard hanging in the balance, Charlie is running out of time to reconcile the powers warring inside her. Because if the coming battle doesn't kill her... love just might.
