Lady Astrid Ravenscroft has always defied expectations, secretly training with a sword when other noble women focused on needlework. But nothing prepares her for the night Viking raiders storm her family's manor – or for their fierce chieftain who claims her as his prize.

Bjorn Ironwolf leads the most feared clan in the northern territories, his authority absolute, his power unmatched. But the fierce Viking warrior harbors a deadly secret: he and his elite warriors are more than mere raiders. Under the full moon, they transform into massive wolves, protecting their territories with fang and claw.

Against her will, Astrid finds herself drawn to the mysterious chieftain who treats her more like an equal than a captive. Though he maintains an outward show of harsh discipline, his touch ignites something primal within her. Yet as she navigates life among the Vikings, she begins to suspect there's more to Bjorn and his warriors than meets the eye. The way they move with inhuman grace, their impossible strength, the strange way their eyes glow in firelight...

When rival clans threaten their borders, Astrid must choose: cling to her old life, or embrace the wild call of a destiny she never imagined. For Bjorn's wolf has recognized its mate, and the moon mother herself has whispered prophecy in Astrid's ear. But claiming her place as alpha female will demand more than just accepting Bjorn's love – it will require steel in her spine, iron in her heart, and the courage to become something more than human.

In a world where passion burns as fierce as battle rage, one woman will discover that the greatest power lies not in fang or claw, but in the strength to choose her own fate. For in the northern territories, love is measured in blood and loyalty, and a wolf's heart, once given, is forever.

First in the sweeping IRON WOLF LEGACY series, HEART OF THE WOLF weaves Viking lore with paranormal romance in an epic tale of fate, fury, and the untamed power of true love.
