Talismans of Desire (Oaths of Ruin Saga #1)

Enslaved. Bartered. Property. Two dangerous men pull her chain in opposite directions.

In the northern mountains, Kilda is forced to navigate hall politics to survive. She must master Seidr magic and become a Volva. A slave without value is only good for one thing. Sacrifice.

Wearing a mask is expected of a thrall. But for Kilda, showing her face is the only path to power. The gods bless only those true to themselves.

Swinging above her rank, Kilda discovers enemies lurking behind practiced smiles as whispers from beyond the veil awaken her desire—and a hunger she can no longer ignore.

When forces older than memory stir, Kilda must decide who she will be. She did not come this far to kneel.
