The God's Undoing

By L. Mare

She was never meant to be a weapon. He was never meant to have a heart.

Astrid is a shield-maiden, a captain, and the daughter of a jarl in the frozen coastal village of Sk lav k. She has spent her life training warriors, defending her people, and ignoring the strange shimmer at the edges of her vision - threads of light that connect all living things, visible only to her.

Then a stranger walks down from the mountain passes, and the threads go mad.

Soren Stormborn is the half-mortal son of T r, the Norse god of war. Raised in the golden halls of sgar r and forged into a weapon of the divine court, he has been sent to the mortal realm with a single mission: find the woman carrying the Vanir's forbidden power, and neutralize her. By any means necessary.

But when Astrid and Soren meet, their powers don't collide - they harmonize. A resonance the gods haven't seen in three thousand years blazes to life between them, and it threatens to unravel the ancient treaty that keeps the nine realms from war.

Now Astrid and Soren must choose: obey the gods and destroy what's growing between them, or defy every divine law in existence and prove that the power the gods fear most - the power of two halves made whole - is exactly what the world needs to survive.

The God's Undoing is a Nordic-inspired romantasy featuring a fierce shield-maiden heroine, a morally grey demigod love interest, forbidden love across divine bloodlines, steamy scenes, found family, and a magic system built on the radical idea that connection is stronger than control.

Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Carissa Broadbent, and Scarlett St. Clair.
