Story
Five hundred years ago, brother gods devastated their world with civil war. When they were imprisoned, their conflict ended without a victor. Centuries passed while their followers secretly continued the war, a war that will soon have an end. The gods have found their paragons. When half-bloods Harruq and Qurrah Tun pledged their lives to the death prophet Velixar, they sought only escape from their squalid beginnings. Instead they become his greatest disciples, charged with leading his army of undead.

Summary
Vikings meets Frostblood in this romantic historical fantasy stand-alone from author Jessica Leake.
The ancient land of Eirinn is mired in war. Ciara, princess of Mide, has never known a time when Eirinn's kingdoms were not battling for power or Northmen were not plundering their shores.
The people of Mide have always been safe because of Ciara's unearthly ability to control her enemies' minds and actions. But lately a mysterious crow has been appearing to Ciara, whispering warnings of an even darker threat. Although her clansmen dismiss her visions as pagan nonsense, Ciara fears this coming evil will destroy not just Eirinn but the entire world.
Then the crow leads Ciara to Leif, a young Northman leader. Leif should be Ciara's enemy, but when Ciara discovers that he too shares her prophetic visions, she knows he's something more. Leif is mounting an impressive army, and with Ciara's strength in battle, the two might have a chance to save their world.
With evil rising around them, they'll do what it takes to defend the land they love - even if it means making the greatest sacrifice of all.

I mean... it wasn’t horrible
So, let me preface by saying I didn’t hate it. I enjoyed it, really, but there were a lot of little issues.
1. I felt the performance was extremely slow and lacking. I didn’t feel much emotion and there were a lot of awkward breaks in sentences and lulls. It was almost a dnf (did not finish) for me because I just couldn’t get on board with the plodding along performance (however she did leaps and bounds better than I would have)
2. The story was good. I thought the plot was good and everything, but there were a lot of inconsistencies. So, irl, when you climb a 20,000ft mountain you (now) use oxygen, you cover your everything, and you have trouble breathing and speaking. But that doesn’t make for a good dialogue setting. There was only one person with breathing issues and it seemed to be asthma that was only slightly affected by climbing. Which didn’t really make sense. Also I felt like gloves would appear and disappear from one scene to the next, and just a general sense of “this seems highly unlikely” throughout most of the book (when it came to climbing and such.)
3. I did like the book and I will be reading the next one, and I recommend it if you are okay with a few minor inconsistencies here and there

Awesome Fantasy
I’m more of a sexy romance fan generally, but sometimes I enjoy a good fantasy. Wow, this book didn’t need any sex with all the passion and heartache (besides, I’m not a huge fan of teenage sex scenes). It was so good and hard to stop listening. I found myself having a difficult time multitasking while listening because I kept getting swept up into the story and solely focusing on it. It made me smile and even cry. It was full of strength and courage and love and it was just awesome all around.
It starts a little slow which is why it was in my library for 6 months but trust me, it gets good fast and stays high paced for nearly the entire book.
Do yourself a favor and listen to it!

The perfect mashup of two worlds
What started off just a little slow turned out to be something I couldn’t put down! The mash up of the Norse and Celt cultures kept my earbuds tightly in. Twists and turns with plenty of adventure. The speakers performance was a delight to listen to as well! 10/10!

loved the story but struggled to finish.
love the story but have to admit I did struggle to finish it. Although the narrative voice is Pleasant and her performance of the characters is good the actual narration had such a distinct sing song pattern and cadence that became so predictable it actually took away from the story by making the words kind of blend together that, in the end, made it difficult to listen to.
