A Fate Inked in Blood cover

In this Norse-inspired fantasy romance, Freya battles for survival and her heart while navigating a world of magic and betrayal in A Fate Inked in Blood.

In A Fate Inked in Blood, readers are introduced to Freya, a shield maiden with dreams far beyond her mundane existence. Bound in an unwanted marriage, she spends her days gutting fish, harboring a fierce desire to become a warrior and to take vengeance on her boorish husband. Her life takes a dramatic turn when betrayal leads her into a deadly contest against the son of a powerful jarl. As she fights for survival, Freya must unveil a secret that could change the course of her destiny: she carries the blood of a goddess, granting her magical abilities that could unite her fractured nation of Skaland.

The stakes rise as the jarl, believing that Freya is the key to his rule, binds her with a blood oath and commands his son, Bjorn, to protect her. As Freya trains to harness her newfound powers, she faces a series of challenges imposed by the gods themselves. However, the most daunting challenge may be her growing attraction to Bjorn, a fierce warrior with whom she shares a complicated bond. This forbidden romance adds another layer of tension as Freya grapples with her responsibilities and desires.

A Fate Inked in Blood is a captivating blend of Norse mythology, fantasy, and romance. Freya's journey of self-discovery and empowerment unfolds against a backdrop of political intrigue and divine intervention, making it a compelling read for fans of fantasy romance. Will she be able to resist the allure of her heart while fulfilling her destiny?
