Publisher's Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

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. A magic 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.

Great story, great pacing, great performance

Absolutely devoured this book and cannot wait for the next one! I’m so glad that the narrator has the cultural background to be able to do the accent justice.

The first 10 chapters were amazing!

I feel like from chapter 10 it kind of got a bit slow? I love this author but I felt disappointed by characters decisions, the plot, the romance - I knew that this was going to be continued on in the next story but I’m feeling a bit depleted after finishing.

It was only ok

I liked the narrator, her accent fit the book and pronunciation was excellent. I really wanted to like this book as I love a good romance novel and enjoy the concept of Vikings, but it just didn’t hit the mark for me. I found the main character really childish and annoying, and just couldn’t warm to her.
