Frost and Flame

In a world where the gods demand blood, one woman will dare to defy them.

The Trial of the Jarls is more than a tradition—it’s a death sentence. Each year, six clans send their strongest youths to the sacred island of Skarn, where they must fight, bleed, and sacrifice to appease the gods. Only one can survive, earning glory for their clan and proving the gods’ will is absolute. But this year, the rules are about to change.

When eighteen-year-old Astrid volunteers to take her disabled sister’s place as Frostfjord’s female Oathsworn, she becomes a reluctant pawn in the gods’ deadly game. Determined, fiercely independent, and burdened by her mother’s legacy as a legendary shieldmaiden, Astrid knows that survival means trusting no one. Yet her greatest threat might be Thorulf, her maddeningly charming partner from Frostfjord—a warrior hiding his own dark secrets.

As Astrid and Thorulf form a fragile alliance, they discover that their fates are intertwined in ways neither expected. Together, they must navigate betrayals, unravel the mysteries of the gods’ trials, and confront a choice that could change Bjornhold forever…

As Astrid’s connection with Thorulf deepens into something more than survival, she must ask herself: What is she willing to sacrifice—for her people, her freedom, and the man who has become her greatest ally?

The gods demand blood. Astrid will give them fire.

Frost and Flame is a breathtaking tale of resilience, forbidden romance, and epic battles in a Norse-inspired world of gods and warriors. Perfect for fans of Rebecca Yarros and Fourth Wing, this sweeping saga of love and rebellion will ignite your soul and leave you hungry for more.
