Easy read, page turner, keeps you engaged and moves along!

First actual book I’ve read since like 10 years ago when I was in high school. I finished it SO fast, I love it so much. My only gripe is that the next one isn’t out yet.

So good!! I

Great book can’t wait for the next book

So good!

Loved reading the exciting and engaging story. When Freya becomes a shield maiden, she is forced to marry the jarl, but the jarl puts his son, Bjorn, in charge of Freya's safety. Read the highly recommended, wonderfully written, and a must read riveting story. Can't wait to read the next story in the series!

Having spent most of her life hiding her powers, Freya doesn’t get a chance to be happy to finally reveal them when she is traded one horrible husband for another after accidentally revealing them in a supposed fight for the death. Foretold to reunite Skaland, she enters battles and more hardship, all while struggling with an oath, the magic of the gods, and her forbidden feeling towards the son of her new husband. This book was an incredible, action packed ride from start to finish. I can’t even find the words to explain it, it was just that compelling I am still recovering from it while writing this! Freya is a powerful main character, not only blessed by the gods, but fierce even on her own. She somehow remains strong despite all that is thrown at her. Like anyone, she has her weaker moments, which I love, despite her power she is still flawed and angry. The other characters in this book are all fleshed out pretty well in their own ways, even if you don’t care for them, their moments are still enjoyable to read! If you enjoy the viking era and their gods, sexy god blessed men born of fire and fierce and flawed female characters, I highly recommend starting this series! I cannot wait for more! Plus, the cover is stunning! Thank you NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group for the chance to read this thrilling book!
