The protagonist arrives at Endir University with one mission: steal Mjolnir and return the legendary hammer to her father, a sleeping god in mortal form. Her father trained her as his weapon, teaching her to obey without question and bleed without complaint. Now he threatens to kill everyone she loves if she fails this task. The university houses ancient bloodlines and guards deadly secrets. Her target becomes Aric Erikson, heir to an enemy faction. He walls himself behind layers of ice and distance. She must unravel his defenses to reach the hammer, but each interaction pulls her deeper into forbidden territory. The gods scattered across the world in mortal bodies, waiting for the right spark to wake them from their slumber. Giants walk among humans despite being dismissed as campfire stories. As she gets closer to Aric, the line between her false identity and true self blurs. She faces an impossible choice between a mission she never wanted and a man she was forbidden to love. The fate of the world hangs on a war between awakening gods, and she might be the spark that ignites everything.
