Ragnarök is here. The end of the world is eating away at Asgard as well as the human world until there is nothing left but ice and darkness. I'm supposed to stop it - it's my literal fate, thanks to a meddling Norn and an MIA prophet. Me, and the five alpha gods destined to claim me as theirs.

Her only hope is to win the heart of the god who killed her. But even if she can trick her way into his icy soul, can she ever love a man whose hatred for her reaches back to the moment of her birth?
