Synopsis volume 1:
She will let no one—neither living nor dead—stand in her way... Wren descends from a long and noble line of valkyrs. These warriors, endowed with occult magical powers, are tasked with ridding the world of ghosts that linger on earth and leave chaos in their wake. So when the hour of her initiation test arrives, the young novice will not disappoint anyone—least of all her father! But nothing goes as planned. Worse, her failure earns her banishment and exile to the edge of the Rift, a no-man's land teeming with revenants more vicious and unpredictable than the last. Determined to regain the respect of her kin, Wren seizes her chance the day Leopold Valorien, the irreverent prince of House Or, is kidnapped during a diplomatic visit. The girl vows to do whatever it takes to find him, even if it means facing an army of creatures from beyond the grave... and teaming up with Julian, a fearsome fighter from an enemy clan. She is a bone-forger and he is an iron-forger, but they will have to set aside their differences, for an even greater peril looms: a deadly alliance is forming between the living and the undead... Follow the adventures of a daring heroine whom neither betrayals nor spectres can stop in the new dark fantasy series born from the imagination of Nicki Pau Preto, the author of the Blood Sisters trilogy. Chills and nightmares guaranteed!
