Description

Heir to the Valkyrie throne, Alithea belives she is better suited to the battlefield than the throne room. 

On the eve of her betrothal ceremony where she will finally meet the young man the queen's council has chosen for her--the man raised to serve her every need--Alithea makes a desperate decision that will change her life forever. Rejecting her birthright, Alithea flees across the broken bridge to the human realm where she must hide her true nature.

When the queen's Berserker bounty hunter finally catches up with her, Druan gives Alithea no choice but to return to a war-torn world where her mother and all those she loves are trapped, powerless to resist the vicious usurper queen. To save her people, Alithea will have to do the one thing she swore she would never do. Ascend to the Valkyrie throne and take her seat as the High Queen of the Nine Realms, all the while keeping a dangerous secret that could destroy everything.

    I enjoyed this slightly different take on Valkyrie society. It was a riot and full of action, danger, suspense, battles, and with family, friends and enemies. It was interesting from the beginning as it starts out slow like a YA story as introduced to the main hero and then just got better as it went. Glued to the end to see how it ends and what trials Thea must face and overcome. Had to see who would win in the end. A few surprises and a twist or two but that made it a good story. Cannot wait to see what happens next. A good story and interesting world setup.
