“All is fated except the lives of the children of the gods. Your path is unknown and as you walk it, you rearrange the threads of all those around you.”
About the Book:
A shield maiden blessed by the gods battles to unite a nation under a power-hungry king-while fighting her growing desire for his fiery son-in the first book of a Norse-inspired fantasy romance duology from the bestselling author of The Bridge Kingdom series.
A Note From Me:
Out of all the 2024 releases that I’ve read so far this year, I think this is my favorite! I liked quite a lot about this book, including how natural the romance felt, the inspirations from Norse mythology, and of course, the banter. I also thought the FMC was someone who felt three-dimensional and believable, and I really enjoyed getting to see how she developed both her sense of self and her relationships with others throughout the book. I will be impatiently awaiting the next book of the series - until then, here’s a playlist of instrumentals that fit the vibe of the book, many with nordic inspirations!
