They came to accuse her.

They stayed to save her.

Ariessy of Midgard is a gripping YA fantasy of wolves, witches, hidden realms, and a heroine who is both vulnerable and strong.

Seventeen-year-old Ariessy Taylor has never belonged. In the quiet streets of Wales, UK, she hides a dangerous magic she barely understands and a legacy she's learned to fear, control, and never reveal. When her nan's closest friend is turned to ash, everyone is talking — but her nan doesn't believe the official story, and every question pulls Ariessy deeper into a mystery woven from Norse echoes, Welsh legend, and a truth that shatters her world.

Some wolves live among humans — a race forged by Odin, with a hierarchy of their own and a Hafa who commands them. Bound by ancient laws to protect humanity from supernatural threats, their presence is a warning.

When a desperate attempt to heal her father draws the wrong kind of attention, Ariessy is accused of wielding forbidden sorcery, and the wolves are forced to intervene. Their revelations cut close, and the truth unravels everything she thought she was.

The wolf assigned to watch her is sharp-eyed, conflicted, and far too aware of a vulnerability Ariessy is hiding.

As shadows stir and enemies close in, Ariessy is pulled into an alliance she doesn't want. Forbidden bonds spark. Loyalties twist.

Someone is hunting her.

Something ancient is awakening.

And the magic she fears is the only way to survive what's coming.

Perfect for fans of slow-burn tension, protective shifters, myth-touched magic, and a vulnerable, determined heroine who refuses to be caged.
