A Curse Carved in Bone

Saga of the Unfated #2

A shield maiden fights to defy prophecy, and confront the betrayal of the man who shattered her heart—in the thrilling conclusion to the Norse-inspired fantasy romance duology.

With the secret of her divine heritage unveiled, Freya faces a devastating truth: the magic in her blood could cost thousands of lives. Desperate to avert this dark destiny, she forms a dangerous alliance with Skaland’s greatest enemy and seeks the seer who foretold her future, the same seer who once sent Bjorn to kill her.

Though Freya burns with rage over Bjorn’s betrayal, the blood oaths that bind them force her to keep him close as she races to prevent a looming war. Her powers draw her into the heart of an ancient enmity, entangling her with Nordeland’s Unfated, children of the gods who serve the king she was raised to fear. Yet unlike Bjorn, this king now fights at her side.

Passion and distrust collide as Freya and Bjorn navigate loyalty, desire, and the perilous choices of their intertwined fates. With war on the horizon, gods and mortals prepare for battle, but the fiercest fight will be the one Freya wages within herself. With the magic of two goddesses burning through her veins, she must decide: will she be the shield that protects her people… or the curse that destroys them?
