Can you trust a god they call Oathbreaker? Vervain Lavine could really use a moment to breathe. Between the beasts and magics warring inside her, a Pride of werelions that behave more like unruly frat boys, and a dangerously complicated bond with a werewolf prince, her life is already chaotoc. And it’s only getting worse. Demeter is still hunting her. Vampires are shadowing her every move. And the God War is escalating. Now Odin—the enemy general known as the Oathbreaker—wants her help.
