A single night with the fiery-haired thrall convinces him to claim the young man as his own...but it's only when Leif is stolen away by Ulf's enemies that the jarl realizes the true depth of his feelings...and that he will do anything to recover his mate. A romantic adventure in a Viking-inspired fantasy world. Originally published in serial format.

If he can convince her to stay… The most powerful alpha in the city, Veyr has held his throne against all comers for many lonely years.
