About this ebook

Viktoria likes her simple life, but this Maiden of Pohjola is far from a simple girl. Jael, an assassin trained by the Old Man of the Mountain almost four thousand years ago, has never had a target like her. Little does he know falling in love with a vampire could result in Viktoria being imprisoned forever.

 

For the last thousand years, Viktoria's only goal has been to earn her freedom. She made a deal with Louhi, Goddess of Witchcraft and Death, and the penalty for losing is imprisonment forever — not only for Viktoria, but all twelve of her sisters. She can't let them down, even if it costs her the thing she's always wanted — love.

 

Jael has dedicated his existence to finding the mage who murdered his family to avenge his wife and daughter. But the glimpse of a future with his Draga makes him see possibilities he'd thought long lost.

 

The Spider Mage sets his sights on Viktoria, sending Jael into danger to protect her, and Viktoria is forced to make an impossible choice — her freedom or his life.

 

This is a happily-ever-after, soulmate novel with fade to black scenes, but no cheating, or cliffhangers. It's a fast-paced story that blends romance, mythology, humor, and adventure. While a little more of the Dragaverse is revealed as the series progresses, the romance in each novel focuses on one couple and can be read as a standalone.

I love to travel, read, and think of ways to complicate my characters’ lives. I have two borrowed cats who take shameless advantage of my good nature. Hopefully you find my characters a lot more entertaining than I am. :) If you enjoyed this story, you may be interested to know that I write in several series. While each novel is written for one relationship, features unique mythologies, and can be read as standalone, a little more of that world is revealed and the overall arc of the series grows throughout. I also write two versions of most of my stories. For the sweet/clean versions, read stories by Ysobel Black. If you prefer naughty stories with no fade to black scenes, you'll want to read the versions by Ysobella Black. The best way to find out what’s going on with the series, and me, is to visit my website at https://www.ysobellablack.com. There, you can also check out the wikis and timelines for each series. Or, sign up for the newsletter. https://ysobellablack.com/newsletter/ I send out things like surveys, freebies, contests, and random news about things going on with me that may or may not be interesting.  I love hearing from my readers. Feel free to contact me via my website, or find me on social media. I admit, I don't keep up with posting constantly on one account, much less two, so I don't have separate accounts for my two pen names on most platforms.
