THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

The thrilling finale to the No. 1 Sunday Times bestselling fantasy, A Fate Inked in Blood.

With the secret of her divine heritage revealed, Freya finds herself on a path that could see thousands of lives lost to the magic in her blood.

Desperate to avoid this dark fate, she risks an alliance with Skaland's greatest enemy to seek answers from the seer who foretold her future - the same seer who sent Bjorn to kill her.

While Freya still seethes with rage over Bjorn's betrayal, the blood oaths that bind her demand that she keep him close as she hunts for a way to avert the looming war. Her magic draws her to the front lines of an old enmity, embroiling her with Nordeland's Unfated - children of the gods who serve the king she was raised to fear. The same king who, unlike Bjorn, is now willing to fight at her back. For despite the desire that burns hot between Bjorn and Freya, his growing distrust of her chosen path threatens to drag them further apart.

As war approaches, gods and mortals must choose their weapons. Yet the fiercest battle will be the one Freya wages within herself. With the magic of two goddesses burning in her veins, she must weave the threads of destiny to decide her own fate:

Will she be the shield that protects her people or the curse that destroys them?

I cannot express how much I enjoyed this story! It felt like it dragged for the first part of the book with setting up the plot and Freya’s anger started to feel a monotonous; however when that TWIST came GIRLLLLL I was hook, line and sinker - silly of me to doubt Danielle L Jensen again. The narration was impeccable and really helped immerse me into the story; cannot recommend this enough!

Haven’t enjoyed a story like this in a while!

I absolutely loved the first book and was so excited for this one but I really struggled. The story line was great the twist and turns amazing, the narration i could not cope with.

I had to go back a few times and re listen to some chapters as I feel the female narrator was really putting on the Nordic accent. It was way too much especially compared to book 1.

The roll of the tongue when pronouncing Freya's name just gave me the ick.

Overall the story itself was great and loved the dynamics between realms and the gods. I just wished the narrators toned it down a bit.

I really struggled
