Will Christine Daaé continue to play the part of a chorus girl in the story of her own life, allowing fear to make her decisions for her? Or will she take her place as the leading lady she was born to be, alongside the man she was born to love?

When Eirkara saved a small Jötun baby from suffering and death by placing him in Odin's path, she had no idea that she was saving the future god of mischief. And she would never have guessed that their lives would become inextricably entwined. A story of love, lies, betrayal, redemption, and how the fate of the universe was changed forever by a Valkyrie's Kiss.

The storm that raged in the night was over. It had taken a decade and more, but Erik's love, like the flowers on the cliffside, had finally found a place to grow.

Erik's mother did not know, nor did she care to consider, that what she did now would extinguish the joy from her son's golden eyes for many long years. Countless men would try to take his life, and one woman would take his heart. The world would torture him for a face that was not his fault and fear him for the sins that were, and it all began with the choice she made that day.

"In my day, if you weren't off fighting a war, you came home for Christmas. You wanted to take the time to be together with the ones you love. Now, it's all about getting the job done. There's plenty of room for Captain America to come save the day…but there's no room and no time for Steve Rogers, who just wants to sit down with the world and catch up on everything he's missed."
