"I release you..." were the last words Rosalind remembered before her world went black. Stefan, the future duke of Montmouth, no doubt thought his words were welcomed, but he couldn't have been more wrong. Oh, he was handsome as a Norse god, but that was unimportant when her life, as well as those of her family, hung in the balance. With less than six weeks left, Rosalind has stopped believing in the fairy tale, the prince on the white horse, and the stolen kiss that would awaken her from her worst nightmares. Resigned to her fate, she waits for the inevitable curse to run its course. "We must marry at once!" Stefan declared, fully expecting Rosalind to be delighted that he had come to save her, but he was sorely mistaken. Rosalind was no simpering docile female; she was a fiery temptress with a stubborn streak only matched by his horse, Samson. Insulting, infuriating, intoxicating, and alluring enough to drive a man mad. Stefan found himself thankful for the curse that required him marry her, thankful for the betrothal contract he had so recently tried to release her from...With the fortitude of a sailor shipwrecked, abandoned, and a solider warring for his life, Stefan decides to lay siege to the greatest prize, Rosalind's heart.

Ni siquiera elijo la vida. La elijo a ella. El romance más adictivo que no podrás parar de leer Decían que los dioses eran un mito. Que los gigantes solo eran historias contadas alrededor de fogatas moribundas. Mentían. Los dioses no están muertos; tan solo están dormidos, encerrados en cuerpos mortales, desperdigados por el mundo y esperando a que la chispa adecuada los despierte. Y mi padre es el más despiadado de todos. Me crio para obedecer. Para sangrar. Para ser su espada cuando llegue el momento. Y ahora me ha enviado a la Universidad de Endir, un lugar lleno de linajes antiguos y secretos letales, para recuperar el Mjölnir, el martillo de las leyendas. Si fracaso, todas las personas que quiero morirán. Pero Aric Erikson no formaba parte del plan. Él es el heredero del enemigo. Distante. Peligroso. Y... la única persona de quien no puedo permitirme enamorarme. Se ha aislado por completo detrás de un muro de hielo, pero cuanto más me ordenan que lo descifre, más difícil me resulta recordar dónde terminan las mentiras y dónde comienzo yo. Ahora, lo único que me separa de una guerra que decidirá el destino del mundo son una misión que yo no escogí... y un hombre a quien nunca debí amar. Pero, si yo soy la chispa, tal vez él sea la mecha. ¿Y los dioses? Están a punto de despertar furiosos. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION They said the Gods were myth. That the Giants were only stories told around dying fires. They lied. The Gods aren't dead―they're only sleeping, locked in mortal bodies, scattered across the world, waiting for the right spark to wake them. And my father is the most ruthless of them all. He raised me to obey. To bleed. To be his blade when the time came. Now he's sending me to Endir University, a place filled with ancient bloodlines and deadly secrets, to steal back Mjolnir, the hammer of legend. If I fail, everyone I love dies. But Aric Erikson wasn't part of the plan. He's the enemy's heir. Distant. Dangerous. And...the one person I can't afford to fall for. He's closed himself off completely behind a wall of ice, but the more I'm ordered to unravel him, the harder it becomes to remember where the lies end and I begin. There's only a mission I never chose―and a man I was never meant to love―standing between me and a war that will decide the fate of the world. But if I'm the spark, maybe he's the fuse. And the Gods? They're about to wake up angry.
