Publisher's summary

A scorned queen, a cursed prince, a girl begging for love and adventure....

History Channel's Vikings meets Norse folklore and mythology in this high-fantasy retelling of the Norwegian fairy tale East o' the Sun and West o' the Moon.

Eighteen-year-old Helga "Hel" Daalgaard has accepted that the only love and adventure in her future live within the pages of the books her father brings for her from his travels. She's content helping around the home she shares with her parents and eight siblings; it may be a dull life, but it's all she's ever known...until a polar bear arrives at their tiny cottage and offers up a strange proposal.

After spurning his young stepmother's advances, Prince Dyre is cursed to spend his days in the body of a polar bear. To break the curse, he must find a woman to fall in love with him and stay with him for a year - but the woman of his choosing can never learn he is truly a man or Dyre will be forced into a future even worse than spending his days as a polar bear. He thinks Hel could be the one to break the curse, but if Hel ever finds out what brought them together, he may lose her forever.

Nobody ever crossed Viveka, queen of Aldavellir, and lived to tell about it. Dyre is the only man alive who has turned her down, but she'll have him whether he likes it or not. She'll make it impossible for the girl he's chosen to last long enough to break the curse. After all, queens don't have to play fair.

CurseBreaker is perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Erin Summerill!

Just a little off...

This is one of my favorite myths. The story written wasn't bad, but a combination of the narrator's choice of accents, and the constant use of words like "guy" and "stuff" kinda pulled me out of the period of the story. I know it doesn't bother some people, but I could've done without the sex, little though it was.

Great story brought to life in audio!

I loved this book in its physical format and decided to check out the audiobook edition - I loved the way the narrator brings the story to life. It really adds another dimension to the story.

not what i thought...

one of my most favourite fairy tale is the polar bear king or East of the Sun and West of the Moon. i was hoping for so much in this book but i couldnt finish it...it was so boring and predictable....i just couldn't finish it and that made me sad but i tried. i tried until the moment where the polar bear asks her not to speak to her mom alone...and what does she do speak to her mom.....i tried but im done..
