Description:
Fallen Gods is a Norse-inspired adult fantasy romance from Rachel Van Dyken, filled with ancient secrets and perilous desire.
Odin raised her to obey. To be his blade.
The gods aren’t dead - they’re only sleeping, locked in mortal bodies, scattered across the world,waiting for the right spark to wake them. And Odin, the most ruthless of them all, is Rey Stjerne'sfather.
Now he’s sending Rey to Endir University, a place filled with ancient bloodlines and deadly secrets, tosteal back Mjolnir, the hammer that once belonged to her dead brother. If she fails, everyone she lovesdies.
But Aric Westberg wasn’t part of the plan. He’s the enemy’s heir. Distant. Dangerous. Andsomehow...familiar. He doesn’t know what he is yet - or what he carries - but she does. And the moreshe’s ordered to unravel him, the harder it becomes to remember where the lies end and she begins.
Now there’s a mission she never chose - and a man she was never meant to care about - standingbetween her and the end of the world . . .For fans of sexy romantasy and Neon Gods by Katee Robert, Rachel Van Dyken's Fallen Gods duology is a steamy, dramatic myth retelling.‘A must-read’ – Vanessa Williams, award-winning actress and singer
