"Infidels, I shall never surrender!"Asim never imagined she would be betrayed, smuggled aboard a foreign ship, and dragged in chains to frozen, hostile shores. Swept far away from her beloved Egypt and plunged into a lawless court of Nordic infidels, she is left in agonizing darkness, uncertain if her father, the great Caliph, is even still alive. But Asim is no helpless princess. Trained by the deadly elite of the Fida'i, she vows to use every lethal skill her mentors taught her to slaughter her captors and escape.
That is, until she looks up into the eyes of the Viking lord. Aevar had witnessed the tiny, dark-skinned goddess on multiple occasions while serving as an envoy to the Egyptian Caliph for his brother, King Gunther. He knew she was an elite weapon-not only fierce in her unmatched fighting skills, but brilliantly, intellectually sharp. So when his raiders rip the burlap sacks off the heads of their newest captives, Aevar is completely shocked, deeply delighted, and consumed by a roaring curiosity as to how an Egyptian royal assassin ended up in his cold halls.
Asim knows she must stay focused on her mission to survive. But the moment she locks eyes with the towering, blue-eyed Viking, her calculated logic completely fails her. The primal, electric chemistry between them is immediate and dangerous. Aevar is determined to tame the beautiful warrior, but Asim would rather die than yield to a barbarian. As weapons are drawn and professional walls crumble, they are both about to find out that when an Egyptian assassin clashes with a Viking warlord, the battleground of their hearts will burn hotter than any war.
