As she faces dangers among dwarves and ettins, werewolf Izzy receives unexpected help from her fetch and Freya. Gradually, she and her taciturn guide come to trust each other... until her mates Michael and Declan decide to help her. That complicates everything and Izzy can't believe what they propose. It could so easily mean losing both of them.

With or without them, her relationship with Declan is at risk as she meets people from his past and uncovers long-buried secrets he's kept to himself. It's all a question of loyalties - which way will Loki jump when the crunch comes?

Ruin strikes when it's least expected, dragging them all into a judgement Izzy doesn't want to make and events that will change their lives forever.
