Title: Wolf of the Nordic Seas
Author: Jennifer Ivy Walker
Genre: Viking paranormal romance; historical fantasy; Norse mythology
Book Blurb:
Named after the Norse God of the Sea, Njörd grew up sailing, swimming, and fishing the fjords of Norway. Endowed with extraordinary senses, speed, and strength, he became known as Wolf of the Nordic Seas, leading lucrative Viking raids from the Baltic shores to the Black and Caspian Seas. When a Viking völva foretells his future through a seidr vision, Njörd learns that his fate and his mate—the siren with the sea goddess eyes—lie on the alabaster coast of Normandy in the distant Land of the White Chalk Cliffs.
Elfi Thorfinnsdóttir is a skilled shieldmaiden who seeks vengeance against the ruthless Frankish count who killed her brother and abducted her father in an attempt to seize her clifftop castle. But rather that submit to the count’s relentless demand for her hand in marriage, Elfi allies with Richard the Fearless—the Viking Duke of Normandy— and the Danish Jarl of Ribe known as the Wolf of the Nordic Seas.
As Elfi and Njörd discover startling secrets about their respective pasts, they find that the three Norns have entwined the threads of their fates not just as political allies, but as mates destined to fulfill a divine prophecy.
Wolf of the Nordic Seas— book 2 of the Valiant Vikings series set in tenth century Normandy— is a sizzling, scintillating blend of historical fiction, Norse mythology, paranormal fantasy, and steamy Viking romance!
My Review:
A prophecy foretold brings Viking warrior Njord and shieldmaiden Elfi together to defeat a blood-thirsty Frankish count. Will they submit to their desires and embrace their fates as mates?
Wolf of the Nordic Seas is an all-encompassing historical Viking romance featuring alluring narration, fated mates, gritty action scenes, set on the beautiful Normandy coast in the tenth century.
Jennifer Ivy Walker continues her series with Wolf of the Nordic Seas. The splendor of her gift for writing is etched between the pages. Once I started reading, I couldn’t put it down. Jennifer Ivy Walker weaves a seductive take of life, loss, fate, determination, vengeance, political allies, and love. Her ability to layer in historical accuracy with Norse mythology in this story is impressive.
The world-building in Wolf of the Nordic Seas is just as impressive as the steamy romance. Jennifer Ivy Walker creates a world you won’t want to leave. The world-building is intoxicating to read and visually stunning to experience.
If you’re a fan of steamy historical Viking romance with paranormal elements, you’ve got to read Wolf of the Nordic Seas.
