We were not chosen — we died.
In modern-day Boston, CEO Markus Embla constantly seeks release from irrepressible anger. But when a chance meeting with an alluring stranger triggers a sudden and intimate flashback to a past life, Markus’ hard-fought-for control begins to unravel.
Having left his politically influential family to pursue a less prestigious career as a nurse, Faron Ask struggles alone with immersive, often ominous, dreams. When the line between nightmare and reality merges, he reaches out for help from the one constant in both – Markus.
Drawn irresistibly to each other, the pair entwine at breakneck speed as they fight to discover the truth about their forgotten shared history. But traitorous winged Valkyries, shape-shifting assassins and rune-scarred sorceresses are intent on keeping them apart, to prevent their ancient powers from rekindling.
Because their ignorance is the condition of others’ lives — lives that will not be willingly sacrificed.
The battle for Ragnörak begins in A Kingdom of Dreams, the first volume in the Viking Bloodlines Saga.
REVIEW:
Omg this was phenomenal!! Read it for the world building, the plot stretching across eons, the fated star crossed love, the fantastic lore and the gripping, almost lyrical writing.
This multi POV story unravelling, tells the tale of realms ending, reincarnation, magic and witchcraft, bloodlines and power struggles, murky lines of good evil and the shifting tapestry of time.
At the centre of it all Modi and Fjolnir or Markus and Faron. There is no time before they are thrust into saving themselves, each other and the worlds. They are catching up as we are, seeing multiple different perspectives as we go along for the ride.
Their love is epic and unshakable and unbearably swoony.
Definitely recommend reading this book, I can’t wait to dig into Strings of Destiny which is book 2 out soon, I need to know what happens next after that ending
