Description

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 the first book of a Norse-inspired fantasy romance series 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, Bjorn. To survive, Freya is forced to reveal her deepest secret: She possesses a drop of a goddess’s blood, which makes her a shield maiden with magic capable of repelling any attack. It was foretold such a magic would unite the fractured nation of Skaland beneath the one who controls the shield maiden’s fate. Believing he’s destined to rule Skaland as king, the fanatical jarl binds Freya with a blood oath and orders Bjorn to protect her 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. The greatest test of all, however, 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. Read more

    • BJORN IS EVERYTHING
Format: Paperback
This was such a good book! I haven’t had this much fun reading a fantasy book in a minute. The story was refreshing and action packed. The feminine rage, the magic, the Nordic fantasy, the angst!! I felt all of Freya’s anger like it was an extension of myself. Everytime she was forced into doing the bidding of another man I was raging inside for her. I definitely got some lord of the rings vibes when they were inside the mountain with the draug. One thing I really enjoyed about this book was that Freya’s strength in fighting and with her magic did not feel unrealistic for her as a character. She was strong even when she was being controlled by those around her. Bjorn is officially my favorite book boyfriend!!! I need him biblically. Baby boy you are everything to me🫢🫢🫢🫢🫢 The way Bjorn puts her above everyone else and protects her is everything to me. The banter between Bjorn and Freya had me literally laughing out loud. I expected to love him, but not as much as I did. Like my heart is aching. 🥲 Towards the end of the book Freya was really started to grate me nerves. The way she kept defending her family when they only ever put themselves before her made me livid. Like girl why are you just letting everyone make your decisions for you???? Snoori was testing me the entire book. Like the whole time he’s talking about the gods smiling on him due to something Freya did??? Like you didn’t do anything??? Miss Freya girl, you better than me bc I would’ve snapped way sooner. I honestly guessed the twist coming at the end but didn’t want it to be true 😬😬😬 I NEED the next book expeditiously !!!! How am I supposed to stop thinking about this boooook!!!!! I honestly don’t think I can start another book because I am still living in this world 🥲😭🥲😭🥲😭🥲 “I made a sacrifice to the goddess I was named for, begging her to keep my womb empty.” “Quit wanting more Freya, and you shall be content with what you have.” “All the women in Halsar will curse your name if I lose half my fingers.”🫠 “Bjorn tilted his head, his expression considering. "I have a great many doubts," he finally said. "But the courage of Freya Born-in-fire is not one of them." “I wanted you the moment I first set eyes on you. I wanted you in Fjalltindr. I want you now, and tomorrow, and all the tomorrows, Freya.” “You’ve never been alone,” Bjorn said, his voice so soft that no one but me would hear over the wind and my weeping. “I will be at your back until I cross the threshold to Valhalla, Born-in-Fire, whether you want me there or not.” 😭😭😭😭😭😭 “You are mine, Born-in-Fire. Even if only the two of us know it.” “For all your power, Freya, you are little more than a girl-child ruled by impulse and emotion. The gods chose me because you need to be controlled. To be wielded like a weapon, not left to sow chaos. But it seems you need more proof of that before you'll see reason.” 😡😤😡😤😡😤 “So many of those in my life were content to take and take from me, leaving me a barren well. Bjorn alone had taken nothing, asked for nothing, but given me so much. Around him I felt so full, so alive, and I burned with the need to give all of myself to him.” ... show more

I enjoyed this book and will read book two to see what the future holds for the main characters. I feel that book two may end up being the better book as the first one lays a good foundation for the story to continue. I liked that the ending was satisfying and at the same time left you wanting more without a traditional cliffhanger. ... show more

    • Amazing!
Format: Hardcover
"𝓘𝓽 𝓲𝓼 𝓱𝓪𝓻𝓭 𝓽𝓸 𝓴𝓮𝓮𝓹 𝓸𝓷𝓮'𝓼 𝔀𝓲𝓽𝓼 𝔀𝓱𝓮𝓷 𝓯𝓪𝓬𝓮𝓭 𝔀𝓲𝓽𝓱 𝓪 𝔀𝓸𝓶𝓪𝓷 𝓪𝓼 𝓫𝓮𝓪𝓾𝓽𝓲𝓯𝓾𝓵 𝓪𝓼 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓼𝓲𝓰𝓱𝓽 𝓸𝓯 𝓼𝓱𝓸𝓻𝓮 𝓽𝓸 𝓪 𝓶𝓪𝓷 𝔀𝓱𝓸 𝓱𝓪𝓼 𝓫𝓮𝓮𝓷 𝓵𝓸𝓼𝓽 𝓪𝓽 𝓼𝓮𝓪." I absolutely adored Danielle’s Bridge Kingdom series and couldn’t wait to hop into this Norse-Inspired fantasy romance! Freya is so fierce and self-sacrificing, I absolutely adored her as a female protagonist. The mythology is woven expertly - heavily influenced by the Norse Gods and places. Set against a backdrop of warring factions and ancient mythology, this book explores themes of duty, honor, and the price of protection. The plot is descriptive and action packed, and I couldn’t put the book down. The back and forth banter between Freya and Bjorn felt genuine and had me giggling and urging them on. The intense and difficult family dynamics added a complicated layer to the story. The themes of honor-bound courage and feminine rage resonate powerfully throughout the story, making the stakes feel incredibly high. Danielle’s skillful storytelling shines through, and fans of her Bridge Kingdom series will find themselves equally enchanted by this Norse-inspired fantasy romance. Overall, A Fate Inked in Blood is a captivating read that combines action, romance, and mythology, making it a must-read for romantasy fans. "𝓘 𝔀𝓪𝓷𝓽𝓮𝓭 𝔂𝓸𝓾 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓶𝓸𝓶𝓮𝓶𝓽 𝓘 𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓼𝓽 𝓼𝓮𝓽 𝓮𝔂𝓮𝓼 𝓸𝓷 𝔂𝓸𝓾.
