You asked for it and here it is: The story of Valdemar’s ex-wife Hiljd finding love!

This is ultimately a story about hope, trust, and decorating a farmhouse with an explosion of snowmen figurines. But if you’ve read Fake Dating the Orc Professor, you know that Hiljd has been through a lot of tragedy. And if you’ve read my books, you know that I don’t write about triumphs that aren’t hard won. Previous knowledge of other books isn’t necessary to enjoy this novella, but do understand it will contain spoilers for earlier books in the series.
