Saga of the Unfated (Book 1)
Freya dreams of becoming a warrior. Her dreams abruptly become reality when her husband betrays her to the region's jarl, landing her in a fight to the death against his son, Bjorn. To survive, Freya is forced to reveal she possesses a drop of a goddess' blood, which makes her a shield maiden with magic capable of repelling any attack. Desperate to prove her strength, Freya must face perilous tests set by the gods. The greatest test of all, however, may be resisting her forbidden attraction to Bjorn. If Freya succumbs to her lust, she risks not only her own destiny but the fate of all the people she has sworn to protect.
