Before the Bond Breaks

Centuries ago, she chose duty over love. Now fate is offering them a second chance if they're willing to pay the price.

As Valkyrie High Matron Mazelina Valen investigates the brutal death of one of her own, all signs point to forbidden blood magic. Following the clues to the quiet mountain town of Briar Glen forces her back into a world she left behind when she crosses paths with the one man she could never forget. 

Talon Steele, the formidable alpha of a powerful shifter clan, is barely holding the line as his kind begins to unravel. Without their fated mates, the shifters are going feral, and the ancient bond that once balanced their human and animal halves is collapsing.

The return of the Valkyries might be their salvation. Or their final betrayal.

As Maze and Talon join forces to dig deeper, they unearth a conspiracy that threatens to shatter their world. An ancient enemy is rising, forging an army of soulless, synthetic shifters to wage a cataclysmic war. And the only way to stop him lies in Talon's and Maze's blood, their bond, and requires a deadly relic that only they can awaken. 

With endless destruction on the horizon and magic fracturing at the seams, Maze and Talon must decide if they'll reclaim their destiny, or if their reunion is the final spark that will set everything ablaze.
