Sinister

Raiders of Valhalla MC, Book 2

By: Elizabeth Knox, E.C. Land

Narrated by: Jason Fella

My son means the world to me, so I'll do anything to get him back.

Runes

Being a Nomad, I always thought it was best for my boy to be with his momma. I was constantly on the road and it wasn't the place for a kid. Sure, I wanted him with me as much as possible, but constantly moving isn't the type of life I wanted for him.

Now, things have changed and I'm not ridin' around the States as much as I used to. Sure, I still go out, but we have a satellite club in Tallahassee. When my son begged for me to let him move in with me . . . I knew something happened, but when he told me, I saw red.

I called up my lawyer and given my priors, the likelihood I'd be awarded full custody was slim to none. My lawyer was straight up with me, said it's 'cause I don't look like a changed man and when it comes to the eyes of the court I need to show I've changed. Now, the only thing I've been convicted of is assault, on multiple counts, but it's what happens to idiots who mess with my brothers. I heard my lawyer loud and clear though, so I had a brilliant idea. I'll get married. I'll show them I'm a changed man.

Our marriage was supposed to be for show, so I could get my son back, but it turned into something else. Now I'm faced with telling this woman I want her in a legitimate way, when all we've been doing is playing pretend. I've never been the type to put my heart out on the line, but I see the way she is with my son, and now I never want her out of my life. I only hope she has the same feelings.

Love it

Absolutely loved this audiobook. It’s fantastic and the characters are quite interesting and the kids are quite charming.

Marriage of convenience?

I listened to the audiobook version of this book. Charm agrees to marry Runes, the president of the MC, to allow him to get custody of his son. Runes ex-wife has gotten mixed up with human trafficking/sex trafficking and involved their son in it. He is determined to not only get custody of his son, but to see to it that his ex pays for what she has done to the boy.

I like Charm. She has problems caused by a fire at her business where she got trapped. Runes is good for her as he tries to give her back her self-confidence. He proposes the marriage as temporary but intends to keep his new wife forever, if he can. Dramatic ending that leaves us hanging, but not about Runes and Charm. I was given an advanced copy of this audiobook by the author. My review is voluntary.

A Marriage of Convenience That Turns into for Real

Sinister is an emotional, gritty, and unexpectedly tender addition to the Raiders of Valhalla series, and Rune and Fern’s story delivers the kind of slow‑building, deeply earned love that makes this series so addictive. This is absolutely a book that hits harder when you’ve been following the club from the beginning, because seeing Rune finally fight for something beyond the road feels like a turning point.

Rune has always lived like a true Nomad—restless, loyal, and convinced that the life he leads isn’t one a child should grow up in. But when his son comes to him desperate for help, everything shifts. Rune’s fierce love for his boy is the heartbeat of this story. His determination to protect him, even when the courts see only his past, makes every decision he makes feel raw and real.

Enter Fern.

Their marriage starts as a solution, a way to show the world Rune has changed. But Fern brings more than stability—she brings warmth, steadiness, and a quiet strength that Rune didn’t realize he needed. Watching her bond with his son is one of the most touching parts of the book. She steps into their lives with compassion, not obligation, and Rune sees it. He feels it. And slowly, that pretend marriage becomes the most real thing he’s ever had.

The chemistry between them simmers beneath every shared moment, but what truly stands out is the emotional shift. Rune, who’s always kept his heart locked down, starts wanting more. Wanting her. Wanting a life that isn’t just survival but something whole and lasting. His vulnerability—hesitant, rough around the edges, but honest—makes his journey incredibly satisfying.

There’s suspense, tension, and the signature Valhalla grit woven through the story, but the romance is what shines. It’s about a man learning he’s worthy of love, a woman finding a place where she belongs, and a boy who finally gets the family he deserves.

Sinister is heartfelt, intense, and beautifully layered a must‑listen for anyone invested in this world. Rune and Fern’s love story proves that sometimes the most unexpected choices lead to the truest kind of home.
