Three years later, she returns as Lady Varg, wife of the terrifying Iron Panda Warlord, with a child, a loyal maid, and a clan no one dares offend. When Soren and Ingrid mistake her silence for weakness, they tear off the sacred bracelet that proves her identity. But the hall doors break open, war-pandas roar, dragons descend, and Astrid finally shows them the woman they betrayed has become a queen, with vengeance in her heart.
