Descendant
Description
In this pulse-pounding sequel to Starling, Lesley Livingston delivers another electrifying blend of nonstop action and undeniable romance-perfect for fans of Cassandra Clare's Mortal Instruments series.
The last thing Mason Starling remembers is the train crossing a bridge. An explosion . . . a blinding light . . . then darkness. Now she is alone, stranded in Asgard-the realm of Norse legend-and the only way for her to get home is to find the Spear of Odin, a powerful relic left behind by vanished gods.
The Fennrys Wolf knows all about Asgard. He was once trapped there. And he'll do whatever it takes to find the girl who's stolen his heart and bring her back-even if it means a treacherous descent into the underworld. But time is running out, and Fenn knows something Mason doesn't: If she takes up the Spear, she'll set in motion a terrible prophecy. And she won't just return to her world . . . she'll destroy it.
- A World of Norse Mythology: Stranded in the mythical realm of Asgard, Mason must navigate a world of vanished gods, ancient relics, and treacherous underworlds to find her way home.
- A High-Stakes Adventure: To save the girl who’s stolen his heart, the Fennrys Wolf must brave a descent into a deadly underworld, facing legendary monsters along the way.
- An Apocalyptic Prophecy: Finding the Spear of Odin is Mason’s only ticket home, but taking it up will trigger a terrible fate that could destroy her entire world.
- Fated Lovers: He’s the only one who can save her from Asgard. She’s the one prophesied to destroy his world. Fenn and Mason’s connection will be tested as destiny closes in.
