The heart of a dragon, the role of a slave, & a prejudice to annihilate.

Wingless Valkyries are useless to the future of Asgard–that’s what is drilled into them at Valkyrie Academy. Determined to break the mold and help reap warriors for Valhalla, Kara breaks the rules and finds herself in the most dangerous position yet–facing the wrath of Mistress Sigrun and Odin.

Or that is what she thinks until she realizes a dragon is stalking her.

Two estranged sisters. One apocalyptic problem.

When Kira Beckworth receives a late night call from her sister Blake, little does she know she’s downing her Margarita to head off and save the world.
Blake is a bio-engineering genius. She works at the Facility alongside a team of mysterious beings called the Syrana.
Blake never says a word about her top-secret projects. Now, she’s not only telling Kira about Azrael, she’s asking her sister to smuggle him out of the Facility, and keep him hidden.
Riiiight.
Okay, so Azrael isn’t hard to look at, for someone who is more metal than man, but being on the run wasn’t exactly on Kira’s list of Friday night must-dos.
And if Blake is desperate enough to ask for Kira’s help, then something is very wrong.
Here-comes-the-apocalypse kind of wrong.
So what the hell is Blake getting Kira messed up in? And will either of them survive it?
