Book One

Defender
Book Two
The performance of a lifetime...toppled by a single word.
Witch.
In the blink of an eye, Liv's hard-fought life turned upside-down. Not only had she used her powers in the open and exposed her secret, she had done so in front of the king's own soldiers. No sooner had the dust settled, than she was arrested before the entire settlement and sentenced to death. Alone in a prison cell, she begins to think about where things went wrong...
The fabric of the realm might be slowly changing, but it was still ingrained in the heart of every Viking child, never to suffer a witch. The clock is ticking, but all hope isn't lost. Erik owes a heavy debt, and feels the weight of that burden.
Is it possible to escape the consequences of her actions? Even if she could run, would her chances be any better out in the wild? The executioner comes at dawn, and two people are considering opposite sides of the same question: When a life hangs in the balance... is it possible to walk away?

Contender
Book Three
What do we do with witches…?
With the smoke from the settlement still hanging in the air behind them, Liv and Eric strike out on foot into the wilderness. But the fates weave a twisted story, and it isn't the escape either of them had in mind. Cut off from Trina by the arrival of the imperial army, the pair find themselves truly stranded, without the hope of either coin or supplies. The woods are rife with danger on the best of days, and that's without the price that had surely been put on their heads.
Blood is in the water, and the imperial hounds have caught their scent. But even if they manage to stay ahead of the spears behind them, there's trouble brewing on a different front. A closer front.
Liv's not the only one harboring a secret.
Sometimes freedom comes at too high a cost.

Affinity
Book Four
"You're under arrest, by order of the king."
After escaping from the prison tower the day before her execution, Liv thought the worst of her troubles were over. She and the handsome bannerman who'd rescued her had made it into the forest, the hounds of the king were behind them, and there were nothing but open horizons as far as the eye could see. But the northern realm is a dangerous place, and their problems are only beginning.
When a pack of wolves catches their scent, Liv and Erik must fight for their lives with nothing more than the sparse possessions they've brought with them. They manage to scrape their way towards a mysterious cabin, only to discover the little sanctuary is nothing like it seems.
Partnerships splinter at fresh betrayals, old secrets are dragged into the light. Winter is coming, and the shadows behind them are getting closer. They must fight if they want to live, but are they fighting on the same side?
Trust, once broken, is a difficult thing to repair…
