Genre: Historical Romance / Norse Mythology / Fantasy

Named after the Norse God of the Sea, Njörd grew up sailing, swimming, and fishing the fjords of Norway. Endowed with extraordinary senses, speed, and strength, he became known as Wolf of the Nordic Seas, leading lucrative Viking raids from the Baltic shores to the Black and Caspian Seas. When a Viking völva foretells his future through a seidr vision, Njörd learns that his fate and his mate—the siren with the sea goddess eyes—lie on the alabaster coast of Normandy in the distant Land of the White Chalk Cliffs.

Elfi Thorfinnsdóttir is a skilled shieldmaiden who seeks vengeance against the ruthless Frankish count who killed her brother and abducted her father in an attempt to seize her clifftop castle. But rather that submit to the count’s relentless demand for her hand in marriage, Elfi allies with Richard the Fearless—the Viking Duke of Normandy— and the Danish Jarl of Ribe known as the Wolf of the Nordic Seas.

As Elfi and Njörd discover startling secrets about their respective pasts, they find that the three Norns have entwined the threads of their fates not just as political allies, but as mates destined to fulfill a divine prophecy.

Wolf of the Nordic Seas— book 2 of the Valiant Vikings series set in tenth century Normandy— is a sizzling, scintillating blend of historical fiction, Norse mythology, paranormal fantasy, and steamy Viking romance!

Review

⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Confident Blend of Legend and Romance

This book is comfortable sitting with complexity. People don’t always make the right call, alliances are rarely straightforward, and choices are made with limited information. That messiness gives the story a grounded feel, even with mythic forces pressing in from all sides.

Njörd is presented as someone others place their faith in without hesitation, which makes his quieter moments of uncertainty feel significant. He carries expectation as a burden rather than a badge of honour. Elfi, by contrast, is direct and uncompromising, shaped by a life where hesitation has consequences. She doesn’t soften herself to make others comfortable, and the story benefits from that honesty.

Their relationship develops in an instinctive, slightly uneasy way. Attraction is there early, but it exists alongside doubt, pressure, and the knowledge that neither of them has full control over what’s unfolding. The supernatural thread woven through their connection reinforces that tension, blurring the line between choice and destiny.

The mythological elements are folded into the narrative rather than announced. Fate interferes, prophecies surface, and supernatural beings shift events behind the scenes, rarely offering explanation or reassurance. It keeps the story unpredictable and gives it a subtle edge of unease.

The ending resists tidy resolution. Instead, it feels like a pause in a much larger story, with forces still in motion beyond the final page. It’s not designed to wrap everything up neatly, but to leave you curious about where things will lead next.
