Drika steps in front of a sorcerer's spell to protect two healers. That one action completed her transition into an Aasguard warrior. The sorcerer's magic also found her worthy and therefore gifted her with his magic. She's now a new Aasguard warrior and a mage.

Wystan the Gentle is one of the oldest Aasguard warriors. He finds his mate to be young, a new warrior, and now a mage. He's fighting their age difference, but he can't fight that she's his fated mate.

Now the two must battle sorcerers, Drika's new gifts, and navigate being fated mates. They both have broad shoulders, but will the weight of all these changes crush them?
