Humanity has fractured society, and I am to blame. My benevolent nature and I have had a falling out. This is what happens when the hands of neglect fail to nurture a relationship. Society is not an object I can point to in someone else's yard. I am society, and I have doom scrolled my way into a state of detachment as skepticism dampens my desire for connection. My small, Kansas hometown did not raise me this way. Caring examples of community surrounded my childhood. Once upon a time, my hometown and I knew kindness. I wonder if trusting times are now too far beyond my reach. I can feel the answer to my midlife crisis watching me from behind the details of good and bad, hidden within the neglected shrubbery scattered along Memory Lane.

Mia I left the violence of my father's world-the underworld he controlled-behind the moment I was an adult. I had no idea that the destiny waiting for me was even darker. I'm happy running my comic shop, renting the room upstairs to an adorably naïve priest in training, and pretending to be bothered when Dad's oh-so-sexy right-hand man stops by to check on me every few weeks. But then the dreams start. A woman who looks like she could kill Thac-my self-appointed bodyguard-with a glare tells me I'm destined to be a Valkyrie. Caleb-the man renting a room from me-manifests powers of his own. And I realize I've tumbled into a world I never could've imagined. Along with my Valkyrie sisters, I've been called on to do war against an old god. My roommate and the ancient being who seem to worship me will either be my biggest allies, or my downfall. If they clash with each other, if all three of us can't come together to fight with my new Valkyrie sisters, the world will burn. Valkyries Rising is a #WhyChoose series where the heroine doesn't have to pick just one mate. In these pages you'll find strong heroines who don't back down, and the shifters, gods, dragons, and other immortals who love them and fight by their sides.

Judith It's lonely at the top. I knew it would be when I clawed my way up here, trading away favors and any personal life to get to where I am today, the head of the hottest new video game company in the industry. When an old friend calls in one of those favors, I'm happy to help Xander out. His partner, Dominic, needs to impress some conservative clients, and showing up to get-to-know-you dinners with a heavily tattooed man on his arm isn't the way to do it. And there are far worse things in the world than pretending to be Dom's fiancée. When the fake kisses with Dominic start to feel real, I realize there's something missing in my life. Worse, I realize I never should've let Xander get away. But if the three of us together can't clear this next level in our lives, everything we've worked for will crash around us. There's no way love is worth that kind of sacrifice.
