What is power without control? In return for siding with the enemy, Brydie is given the secret to unlocking the full power of her birthright. But no power comes without consequence, and she must learn to become the master, rather than the victim. Time is inevitably swallowed as Brydie grapples for the place she is owed. Her training is dogged by tales of horror, for not only has the leader of their druidic clan fallen to the darkness, but he also holds an object of power that could plunge the world into a bone-chilling nightmare. As the future of her people and control of her power hang in the balance, Brydie soon comes to understand that her guardian is her only shield against the coming storm. Winter's Shield is the third book in a dark fantasy romance series based on the myths and legends of the Celtic winter goddess, Cailleach Bheur. Featuring dark magic, druids, fae, selkies, mythical creatures, and a morally grey hero with an enemies-to-lovers romance, it is perfect for fans of From Blood and Ash, A Court of Thorns and Roses, and the Fever series.
