With the discovery of her Dovahkiin power, Sofja flees to the protection of the Companions, hiding her secret from all and training to defend herself against any man or beast. However, the Companions have secrets of their own, and Sofja must learn how to survive among the deceit and lies told by those around her—the children of Hircine, who are both men and beasts.

After a deadly mistake forces her on the run, Freja joins the Thieves Guild to hide from her troubles. But as she falls deeper into their world of shadows, a conspiracy reveals itself, and Freja will discover she's in far more danger than she ever imagined.
