Dreaming to be free of her vain and unkind husband and take control of her fate, Freya’s life is turned upside down as she finds herself suddenly wife to a jarl, a gods mark inked in blood on her skin. Yet this new position gives her no more freedom, as her power hungry husband seeks only the destiny that has been foretold to the one who controls hers. As trials force her to stand on her own, she is surprised to find her only ally is his son, Bjorn. They find themselves bound in more ways than one but can she trust Bjorn to set her free?

Ugh I had a lot of hope for this one. Such an interesting premise. I loved the idea of the children of the gods and their roles amongst morals, of fate that is either decided or not, of shifting loyalties amongst a war driven culture of people. I was hoping for a shieldmaiden and got a damsel in distress. *rolls eyes* while driving plot is presented as Freya taking control of her fate, in my opinion, she kept doing the exact opposite. Maybe I should have more empathy. The twist at the end did not have me counting down the days to the sequel.

It's a fine story about norse mythology. I didn't find myself captivated by any of the characters or the world.
