Ariessy of Midgard

In an original British contemporary universe, seventeen-year-old sorceress Ariessy Taylor is determined to find a cure for her father's mysterious illness, but quickly discovers that her quest will put her in direct conflict with the Vald, Odin's wolf-shifters. And these powerful protectors of humanity will stop at nothing to ensure their laws are upheld.



Ariessy is one of many Seivar created by the Vanir gods and gifted with magic to protect Earth and animals but as with all supernatural beings, she is cursed not to reveal her magic to humanity, so she becomes afraid when her powers manifest in unusual ways. Throughout her life, her nan has drummed it into her that she must stay away from the Vald but that becomes impossible when she's asked to help human children and work with Hale Torben, an attractive volunteer.

To make matters worse her father is gravely ill and sorcery isn't healing him so when her nan is given a forbidden spell book, she asks Ariessy to help her find a cure. Meanwhile, an ancient rebel coven returns with a plan to cull humanity and Ariessy is caught between the Seivar Authority and the wolves she's always feared.



When the Vald find Ariessy fighting for her life a shocking revelation compels her to accept both her strengths and her weaknesses, and she must - if she wants to survive.
