Shield-Maiden: Gambit of Blood: The Shadows of Valhalla, Book 1

08/12/2024 / Books, Historical, Romance, Viking

An orphaned descendant of Loki.

A princess without a kingdom.

A shield-maiden plagued by the shadows of Valhalla.

Born to rule two jarldoms, Ervie should have had a life of ease. But fate has not been kind. Her parents’ jarldoms destroyed in the wars of a previous generation, Ervie is set adrift in the world. Taking refuge in the lands of the famed King Gizer, Ervie finds a temporary retreat from her aching sense of loss. But when Gizer’s warband is summoned to defend one of his staunchest allies, the journey promises more than just battle for Ervie.

As it turns out, the Norns have been weaving. Once, Ervie’s parents were considered the most powerful practitioners of Norse magic in all of Scandinavia. That same magic has been sleeping under the shield-maiden’s skin. Soon, this descendant of the trickster god will find herself on a path to reclaim what was lost…and follow her destiny.

Fans of Viking tales will relish The Shadows of Valhalla series. This sweeping Viking historical fantasy retells the story of the second legendary heroine named Hervor—called Ervie by those who know her well—the inspiring shield-maiden from the Norse Hervarar Saga.

Fans of The Road to Valhalla series will love this next-generation tale in a beloved Viking world.

The Saga of Bosi and Herraud (Viking Legendary Sagas Book 17)

08/12/2024 / Books, Literature & Fiction, World Literature

This is undoubtedly one of the most entertaining of the legendary sagas, its anonymous writer having taken the plum pudding approach of throwing in everything he or she could think of; bawdy scenes vie with battles, black magic and monsters, and a ‘big fight at the end’ most modern fantasy films could only envy, followed by that most Shakespearean of conclusions, weddings all round.

The saga is also notable for its entertaining characters: in particular lustful, brawling Bosi, who despite his ugliness has a way with the ladies, and his miserly father Thvari are particularly well drawn, as well as the witch Busla. The voyages to Bjarmaland are paralleled in other stories such as The Saga of Sturlaug the Hardworking and The Saga of Arrow-Odd, while its grand scale battles with their shapeshifting combatants are familiar from The Saga of Hrolf the Ganger and The Saga of Hrolf Gautreksson. There are also several continuity links with other sagas, proving its place in the chronology of Norse legend, including a brief excursion to the famous Battle of Bravellir, fought between Harald Wartooth and Sigurd Hring, while the end of the saga provides an unexpected link with The Saga of Ragnar Shaggy-breeches.

A lost girl and a blind boy discover their greatest strength is their bond with each other in a beguiling fantasy by the New York Times bestselling author of The First Girl Child.

An insidious curse is weakening the Norse kingdom of Saylok, where no daughters have been born in years. Washing up on these plagued shores is Ghisla, an orphaned stowaway nursed back to health by Hod, a blind cave dweller. Named for a mysterious god, Hod is surrounded by prophecy.

Unable to offer safe shelter, Hod urges Ghisla onward to become a daughter of the temple, where all the kingdom’s girl children have been gathered. But because of a magical rune, the two cannot be separated, no matter the time or the distance.

Now, subject to a ruthless king, Ghisla enters a desperate world of warring clan chieftains and catastrophic power struggles.
