Hallveig was once the proud and honorable leader of her tribe, a great warrior, and a loving mother and grandmother—until the shapeshifters massacred her people. Surviving that day with vows of vengeance, she was unaware of the dark fate awaiting her. Transformed into the very creature she swore to hunt, Hallveig sought aid from the lich Wecia, only to fall victim to her manipulations. Now a merciless and maddened pawn, she roams the lands she once called home, driven solely by an instinct to kill.
