Evolved Publishing brings you another Norse Mythology adventure, "Dead Embers (a Valkyrie Novel - Book 2)," by T.G. Ayer. (YA Paranormal Fantasy) ~~~~~~~~~~ "For a shadow of a second, I stared into his eyes, shocked, horrified he'd do such a thing to me. A thousand fears filtered through my frigid brain. Was he in cahoots with Loki? Or was he Freya's dog all along? It took an eternity for him to blink. Even longer for me to blink. Then Fenrir pushed me and I fell off the cliff... into pure white oblivion." ~~~~~~~~~~ Valkyrie-in-training Bryn Halbrook just can't catch a break. With her boyfriend stuck in Hel and the taunting laughter of Loki still ringing in her ears, she struggles to concentrate on her training and duties in Odin's realm. The last thing she expects or wants is more adventure -- but then treachery, a shocking abduction, and a chilling discovery send her forth on another perilous, globe-hopping mission. As the ultimate battle, Ragnarok, draws closer, it's a race against time for Bryn, Fenrir and their team to discover who kidnapped her foster brother from the halls of Asgard and what's causing the mysterious deaths of so many of Odin's chosen warriors. In the exciting sequel to "Dead Radiance," Bryn encounters dwarfs and dragons, new friends and old foes -- but the worst enemy of all may be the person she trusts most.
Review
"This book does a good job of showing what all of the different gods and creatures can do instead of making the book feel like a sort of primer on Viking mythology, which I appreciated. It certainly made the book a lot more interesting!" ** Meg - A Bookish Affair**
"T.G. Ayer has written a fabulous novel, full with raw emotion that will pull you in from the first page. I just loved the way she uses the Norse Mythology ... I can tell you that T.G. Ayer will be on my auto-buy list from now on, because I definitely believe she earns that spot when she finished this book." ** Natasja - Lady Caella Reviews**
"A great series that I recommend everyone reads."_Sarah - Head Stuck in a Book Reviews _
"T.G Ayer stays right on the money, never losing sight of her plot, it's ever-thickening drama and the overall end game."__****Kristy - Kristy Berridge Reviews
"The second installment to a beautiful series. I cried and laugh and was on my toes through out the whole book. It was hard to put down." ** Jeannette - I Heart Books** __
About the Author
I have been a writer from the time I was old enough to recognise that reading was a doorway into my imagination. Poetry was my first foray into the art of the written word. Books were my best friends, my escape, my haven. I am essentially a recluse but this part of my personality is impossible to practise given I have two teenage daughters, who are actually my friends, my tea-makers, my confidantesβ¦ I am blessed with a husband who has left me for golf. Itβs a fair trade as I have left him for writing. We are both passionate supporters of each others loves β it works wonderfullyβ¦ My heart is currently broken in two. One half resides in South Africa where my old roots still remain, and my heart still longs for the endless beaches and the smell of moist soil after a summer downpour. My love for Ma Afrika will never fade. The other half of me has been transplanted to the Land of the Long White Cloud. The land of the Taniwha, beautiful Maraes, and volcanoes. The land of green, pure beauty that truly inspires. And because I am so torn between these two lands β I shall forever remain crosseyed.
