The Iron Bear (Valerie Stonehold‪)‬

A misfit dwarf. An ancient destiny. One epic battle for two worlds.

Val Stonehold never fit in with other Iron Dwarves. At nearly six feet tall and struggling with her identity, she carved out a life for herself in New York City as a bodyguard and blacksmith.

When an ancient power awakens within her, Val discovers she's more than just an outsider. She's a Warrior of the Red Bear, sworn to protect the Lunar Fae and all of paranormal-kind.

Dark forces threaten both Earth and Avalon.

Val must master her berserker rage and iron magic to stop a rebellion that could unleash chaos across dimensions. With a ragtag team of paranormal misfits at her side, Val races to build a sanctuary for her people while battling ancient evils.

But time is running out.

Can Val embrace her true nature and save both worlds? Or will her insecurities doom them all to darkness?
