When you have a two-handed warhammer, everything looks like a nail. This has been Angharad Shieldborn's philosophy ever since she was trapped in a cursed sword, destined to guard wielder after wielder down through the centuries.

Her latest wielder, Cinder, is unlike any Angharad has served before though. Raised in a vicious, immortality-obsessed cult, Cinder should be the enemy, but beneath the prickly, hard exterior she wears like steel, Cinder is kind and vulnerable, and more attractive than any daughter of a crazed zealot has the right to be.

But the cult would kill to get their hands on Angharad’s sword and take her power for their own. If Angharad hopes to save herself and Cinder―the woman she’s starting to fall for―she must shield them from attacks on all sides. But will she be able to shield her own heart?
