A Fate Inked In Blood by Danielle L. Jensen
5.0
A fate inked in blood has me in my Viking Era, if I ever left it to be honest.
The story follows Freya, a fish wife to a child of the gods who can call fish up out of the water. Unfortunately he’s the absolute worst. She dreams of being a warrior and going into battle, not just battling her deranged husband. One day while tossing fish her husband carelessly sent to the shore she meets a mysterious man, and by meet I mean she hits him with a fish. After some flirtatious banter he announces he is heading to the village to kill her husband and to claim her. Horrified as to whether he is joking or not Freya chases him into the village. Only to be confront by the Jarl and said husband. He announces that she has hidden her true nature and that he wants a divorce. The only way she will get away with her life is to defeat non other than the handsome stranger. Forcing Freya to use her power that she has kept hidden for so long and admit that she is in fact a highly prophesied child of the gods.
We soon learn the handsome stranger is known as Bjorn, the son of her soon to be husband the Jarl. This story then follows the growth of Freya in accepting the prophecy, dealing with her power and slowly but surely falling in love with Bjorn. It was fantastic, and I was truly surprised by the ending. I cannot wait for the next book.
