Publisher's summary

A broken prince. A shield-maiden bent on vengeance. A Viking world set on fire.

With the war against the Gauls over and Angantyr crowned king, everything should have been peaceful. But the arrival of Prince Hlod and its devastating consequences have brought nothing but heartache and darkness. Determined to avenge their losses, Ervie and Loptr will unite the Scandinavian world, including King Ormar of the Myrkviðr, against the Huns.

Such an alliance does not come without complications. The war on the battlefield will rival the war in Ervie’s heart as she struggles to find a way forward with Dag and Ormar. But in the shadows, Loki is scheming. The Norns' loom has been rewoven with unforeseen consequences. Join Ervie and Loptr, as well as our other beloved heroes, in this epic conclusion to the Shadows of Valhalla series.

Such an Epic Journey

This one tied me in knots… romantic, heart wrenching, fierce battles and magical… such wonderful characters (except the bad guys)… felt like I knew them so well by the end… such love and bravery.

I cried

I have enjoyed this and prequel series. All of them. But this one got me. I only cry in movies if the dog dies. I could not put this audible down. I do not enjoy an over whelming violent or sad book. This book has the right balance of good and bad. If you enjoyed the others I believe you will throughly enjoy this read.
Lesley Parkin is a win too.

I’m ready for book 4!

This series, the author and the narrator are amazing!

This series (like all of Melanie Karsak’s Viking, Highland, and Celtic series) are tremendously impacting. I got lost in the love and magic of this series. You really get involved in the characters and weep for those who pass and rejoice in those who live. I can’t wait for more!
