Kat Dunn, author of BitterthornIF YOU LIKE SARAH JANE MAAS, YOU'LL LOVE DANIELLE JENSEN--------A shield maiden blessed by the gods battles to unite a nation under a power-hungry king - while also fighting her growing desire for his fiery son - in this Norse-inspired fantasy romance from the bestselling author of The Bridge Kingdom series. Bound in an unwanted marriage, Freya spends her days gutting fish, but dreams of becoming a warrior. And of putting an axe in her boorish husband's back. Freya's dreams abruptly become reality when her husband betrays her to the region's jarl, landing her in a fight to the death against his son. To survive, Freya is forced to reveal her deepest secret: she possesses a drop of a goddess's blood, which gives her magic capable of repelling any attack. Amagic that was foretold would unite the fractured nation of Skaland beneath a king-the one who controls the shield maiden's fate. Believing he's destined to rule Skaland, the fanatical jarl binds Freya with a blood oath and orders his son, Bjorn, to protect Freya from their enemies. Desperate to prove her strength, Freya must train to fight and learn to control her magic, all while facing perilous tests set by the gods. Except the greatest test of all may be resisting her forbidden attraction to Bjorn. If Freya succumbs to her lust for the charming and fierce warrior, she risks not only her own destiny but the fate of all the people she swore to protect. -------***** 'One of the best books I've read this year'***** 'Everything about this novel is sheer perfection'***** 'I flew through this book from start to finish'***** 'I NEED THE SEQUEL MORE THAN I NEED MY NEXT BREATH'***** 'I ate this book up'***** 'I am OBSESSED guys!'***** 'Danielle really outdid herself with this one!!'
