Fated to forever. Fractured in a heartbeat. Hayden, Origin of the Liefson Bloodline, has always wanted the kind of love his fathers have. Except Hayden was born with the ability of ætla, which fills his head with everyone else’s thoughts and emotions—and he thinks death might be the only escape. Then, Nikita Kuznetsov, heir to the Stone Guard Clan, offers Hayden a reprieve. Niki doesn’t broadcast like everyone else, and Hayden gets a glimpse of the peace and closeness he’s been yearning for. But falling for Niki has the unexpected side effect of waking Hayden’s latent dragon spirit. Learning that Niki is his fated mate is the happiest day of Hayden’s life, until their bond lights the fuse of a decades-old threat. As fear and desperation explode, ætla drives Hayden to a risky bolt for freedom. One that may cost more than just his life. The battle for Ragnörak finally ends in A Fracture in Forever, the third volume in the Viking Bloodlines Saga, but the war has only just begun…
