From the moment Erik Ice Tooth sees Bera, daughter of his king, he wants her as his wife. A man accustomed to getting what he desires, he's surprised by her adamant refusal of his advances.

Disgusted by the foul brute who demands her company, Bera makes her feelings for Erik clear. She wants nothing to do with him, even if he is one of her father's favorite warriors and her only other marriage offers are from a pair of loathsome brothers.

Erik abducts Bera with the hope of winning her heart and saving her from marrying one of two evil men, but his rash act will come at a high price.
