"Seven hundred years after dying on the battlefield, Valkyrie commander Astrid awakens in modern times as the contract wife of the wealthy Blackwood family. The original Astrid humbled herself for love, but the warrior who replaces her carries the pride and discipline of a seasoned commander. She swiftly puts troublesome servants, rebellious Leo, ambitious stepsister Serena, and the despicable Darren in their place.
Astrid gradually wins over the family’s younger generation. She guides aspiring actress Ivy onto the right career path, heals her neglected half-brother Cole, teaches Leo self-discipline, and discovers a new purpose through a charitable foundation. As they grow closer, her husband Victor is drawn to her composure and compassion while quietly investigating the inexplicable mystery of her past.
When their one-year contract ends, Astrid presents Victor with the lost Valkenmark raven military insignia and proposes to him. Leaving their arrangement behind, they choose true love—and the broken Blackwood household finally becomes a real family."
