Valkyrie Lost

Valkyries Rising #1

I prayed to a god to rescue my family. I didn’t expect him to stick around, or for him to make me feel things I shouldn’t.

As a cursed völva—a Norse witch—I have learned to not ask for more than I am afforded. But when my family is falsely accused of an injustice, I had to pray to Týr for help. The last thing I expected was him to answer, or for him to return over and over because of me.

I shouldn’t think anything of it. I am but a mortal woman, cursed to only feel the ache of a yearning heart. And yearn I do.

From shared drinking horns to unforgettable nights, I foolishly believe my curse is finally broken. But when trouble amongst the gods stirs, I may just pay the ultimate price for my transgressions.

And the price for spilling the blood of his Valkyrie is one too steep for any god.

Note: This story takes place during the Viking age and modern era

Valkyrie Unknown

Valkyries Rising #2

Isn‘t the chosen one supposed to realize her destiny by the time she‘s old enough to drink?

My entire life, I’ve been taught that fate has grand plans for me. At twenty-six, I’ve lost everyone I care about, to the enemies who believe those same prophecies, but I’m still as mortal as a person can be.

I’m tired of waiting for the other shoe to fall. I’m taking this fight to fate’s door, and making something—anything—happen.

Studying the prophecies didn’t prepare me for the Berserker guardian, who’s a teddy of a bear shifter until I’m in danger. Or the blacksmith who is my equal and opposite and understands me in a way I never thought possible. That lifetime of preparation certainly didn’t make me ready for the irresistible pull I feel to both men.

Knowing my destiny should have me on alert for enemies around every corner, but I let down my guard with the wrong person, and their betrayal threatens us all.

Valkyrie Destined

Valkyries Rising #3

I’ve spent my entire life preparing to face a series of prophecies about me.

The thing about training to be a badass, it doesn’t leave time for much else. When I meet Zeke, my counterpart, my prophetic equal, and the man I’m supposed to kill or be killed by, he’s been living his best life.

And he’s happy to teach me about just having fun… loving… actually living, rather than trying to kill me.

I’m torn between the new life Zeke offers, and the security I know I need from Davyn, the berserker who’s been my guardian longer than not. The bear shifter I’m thinking more and more non-badass thoughts about as time goes on. Inappropriate thoughts. Sexy thoughts.

But the prophecies don’t give a crap who or what I want, and ignoring my destiny in favor of my heart may be tempting, but it won’t keep me alive. And it certainly won’t stop the gods I’m meant to defeat from bringing about the end of the world.

Valkyrie Renewed

Valkyries Rising #4

The world needs saving, and my magic can help. Too bad I have no memory of this power.

I have everything I could want: a loving father, my just best friend Diego, and our family mountain retreat where lost souls come to find themselves. And yet, I find myself feeling like there’s something missing.

When a scarred, weary warrior with a missing hand, looks that could kill and melt my insides, and an air of familiarity rolls up, I begin to wonder if it’s not him who is lost, but me.

Fighting the way Diego’s smiles sends my heart skittering, and ignoring Tyr’s crazy talk of gods and a past history with him thousands of years ago, becomes the least problematic parts of my life when nightmares of menacing black wolves return to haunt my dreams, and magic begins to fly from my fingertips.

When the truth becomes too much for me to ignore, am I up to the task of healing a broken world, or will the wolves again go for the throat?

Valkyrie Restored

Valkyries Rising #5

Valkyrie Confused

Valkyries Rising #6

I’m a creature of habit. I have breakfast at the same time every day, follow my writing schedule religiously, and go to bed before ten on weekdays. Wild adventures are for my heroines, not me. Nothing is allowed to mess with my schedule, even when I move halfway around the world, to Greece, and buy a mountain guesthouse.

Except the caretaker that comes with said guesthouse makes some valiant efforts. He and his friend—ex?—give me a story crazy enough to be in my next book. Hell, parts of it were in my last book. How’s this possible?

Hold on. They’re talking berserkers and Odin and… Valkyries?

Okay, being a Valkyrie could possibly mess with my schedule. And so could falling in love with two immortals.

Valkyrie Condemned

Valkyries Rising #7

I left the violence of my father’s world—the underworld he controlled—behind the moment I was an adult. I had no idea that the destiny waiting for me was even darker.

I’m happy running my comic shop, renting the room upstairs to an adorably naïve priest in training, and pretending to be bothered when Dad’s oh-so-sexy right-hand man stops by to check on me every few weeks.

But then the dreams start. A woman who looks like she could kill Thac—my self-appointed bodyguard—with a glare tells me I’m destined to be a Valkyrie. Caleb—the man renting a room from me—manifests powers of his own. And I realize I’ve tumbled into a world I never could’ve imagined.

Along with my Valkyrie sisters, I’ve been called on to do war against an old god. My roommate and the ancient being who seem to worship me will either be my biggest allies, or my downfall. If they clash with each other, if all three of us can’t come together to fight with my new Valkyrie sisters, the world will burn.

Valkyrie Unchained

Valkyries Rising #8

Valkyrie Freed

Valkyries Rising #9

I’m a Valkyrie, but I don’t know what that means. Could my memories of a life long forgotten hold the answer?

Between balancing my relationships with a dragon and a god, running a magical sanctuary, and holding the crazy of my egg donor and the chaos goddess she serves at bay, I don’t think my life can get any crazier. As if the god of mischief hears my prayer for a moment of peace, Loki lobs a magical surprise at me like a live grenade. Okay, maybe it was because I went a little berserk due to a blood oath of vengeance I had on him, but no one could have predicted he carried around the key for me to rekindle smoldering embers snuffed hundreds of years go, before they could become more.

I don’t need to fall for another god, but I most certainly want him.

If only that was the end of my new life complications. I don’t even think Loki could have predicted the series of events that would follow that one choice. When my power begins to change, and I unlock a hidden secret that summons memories I don’t understand, I’m led down a path not many will be able to follow. And the one person who could help me find answers could also destroy everything I’ve worked for.

Because magic of this caliber has its price, and I’m left to wonder, what will be mine?
