A dark history shadows the realm, holding the tenuous peace between its people by a thread. As secrets tied to her past unravel, Frey's kingdom is threatened at every turn. But old bargains cannot be broken, and only she holds the fate of both the fey and elven lands in her half-blood hands. This collection includes The Frey Saga Book IV: Venom and Steel, Book V: Shadow and Stone, and Book VI: Feather and Bone

Nothing is as it seems. Frey's life is a lie. She doesn't remember being bound from magic. She didn't intend to discover this dangerous secret, to get entangled in Council business. But she did. And now she's on the run. With the aid of a stranger, she discovers a world beyond the elves who bound her. But it's a world of shadows and dark magic, a world she's been warned not to trust. The farther she strays, the more she finds a forgotten past. As she fights to reclaim her true identity, Council trackers hunt her down. If they find her, she will burn. The stranger offers her a way out, but it's a path of no return. How do you know who to believe when you don't even know who you are?

No bargains unpaid. After a perilous clash with the fey, the changeling who betrayed the paramount of their laws--and threatens the safety of both realms--has gone into hiding. As Frey and her Seven recover, concealed plans and furtive bargains begin to unravel, putting in danger their old guard and new. They’re on unsteady ground. Scattered and healing, those sworn to protect the North and its lord work to secure their footing. They are running out of time to cure the darkness poisoning the fey lands, before it overflows into the rest of the realm. But Ruby has gone missing, and this time it seems of her own accord. They’re out of time. If they don’t stop her, she’ll face the deadly changeling alone. But more forces are at play than it seems, and the fey lord confined on his lands by treachery and two half-human elves has made a bargain of his own.

Nothing to hide. Memories and magic recovered, Frey is restored to the throne. But as she works to regain control of the North, a small silver dagger nearly brings her end. Someone wants her dead. She raises the Seven of her guard and proves her abilities in order to secure her position. But another attempt on her life, from what appears to be fey, reveals not all are pleased with her return. She'll have to find them first. If she could only figure out the force behind the attacks, she might be able to relax enough to decide what to do about her other problem... Chevelle.

The year is 850 A.D. In England, an orphaned boy is taken from the safety of a monastery by a group of Vikings and is whisked away to Norway to be the thrall of the jarl's son. Through his trials and triumphs, he is eventually freed and becomes a trusted member of their society. He even befriends a berserker along the way
