PERHAPS WE ARE SAVAGES AFTER ALL

Rune wants only one thing from the gods: the heart of a boy who already claims to love her. She wants it enough that she's willing to make a deal with a god to keep it.

The deal is simple: the heart of the boy, and in return, Rune will make this god revered among the clan.

Then, out of nowhere, the boy proposes to Rune's sister instead.

In her anger, she renounces the gods. But the gods have plans of their own. They snatch Rune from earth and throw her in Asgard, claiming her as their lost goddess and drowning her in a world of dangerous power. It's clear a god is pulling the strings here, but Rune can't guess who, or what her role is in their games. Desperate, she strikes a second deal with a god-one who might be as broken and twisted as she, and quite possibly more capable of breaking her heart than anyone. As her Viking past finds a way into Asgard, it's clear that someone's heart will be slaughtered. She can only hope to be long gone before it all crashes down.

A standalone fantasy for lovers of the fake engagement trope, shields and axes, or poison in teacups.

Viking itch scratched!

I love a good viking story and I love Norse Mythology so this book was perfect for me!
The story of Rune is relatable but also a fun fanciful story that has you guessing till the end.
Mccombs did a great job of capturing the Norse Gods and their ever changing temperaments as well.
The audiobook isn't an actual person narrating it so it was fine but the story was so good!

Beautiful story.

All the right elements are there to hook you in and keep you guessing. I loved this journey through Asgard.
