Synopsis: A shield maiden blessed by the gods becomes trapped in a union with a power hungry jarl convinced she is fated to make him king. Eager to prove her strength, and survive the machinations of both the jarl and his cruel wife, Freya must train to fight and learn how to control her magic, while battling her dangerous attraction to the jarls son, a beautiful and witty warrior who yields the fire of the gods.
I went in totally blind to this and let me tell you it was a WONDERFUL surprise!! Fantasy romance with Norse Mythology??? Vikings, forbidden love, prophesies, forced proximity, dangerous adventures?! An addicting combination π€€ the banter was top tier and i was laughing out loud on several occasions. π Danielle Jensen is the QUEEN of perfectly paced slow burn π₯ omfg. this was the epitome of romantasy in my opinion. I wouldn't change a single thing.
Cursing myself for reading the arc bc god knows when the next one will come out and after that cliffhanger ππ
Bjorn is going to be everyone's favorite book boyfriend come February 27th, 2024 π and this is definitely one of my top reads of the year!
