About this listen

Attracted by passion, repelled by war. Can two shieldmaidens navigate battlegrounds of the sword and the heart?

A Viking sapphic enemies-to-lovers action/romance.

Sigrid the Valiant is legendary throughout the kingdoms of Norvegr for her heroic deeds, but her love has yet to find a home. Now, racing on the heels of her father’s murder, a neighboring kingdom’s raids signal an all-out conflict. Elyn is a young shieldmaiden with a score to settle, fighting her own insecurities along with enemies who threaten her homeland, but she suspects a more menacing danger lurks on the horizon.

When the two clash on opposite sides of their shield walls, sparks fly from both their swords and passions. But when they talk, the fierce women discover an antagonist’s plot has pitted their kingdoms against each other. Can Sigrid and Elyn move past their suspicions and differences to forge a binding love and foil the villain’s scheme, or will the enemy’s assassins end their search for the truth?

Action, adventure, and intrigue ride together with romance in this enemies-to-lovers saga from the pre-Viking land of Norvegr. Award-winning, best-selling author Edale Lane brings history to life in this fast-paced sapphic novel. Grab your ax and rönd and join the quest by clicking to buy now!

It's sad when this happens, but I have to be honest. The story is good and the characters are well defined, the world feels developed and the attention to detail is amazing. The story of Sigrid and Elyn is so, so, sooooo good, and mixed with the bad guy's plot to pit their kingdoms against each other makes for an exciting romance tale.

But the narration is not as good, at all. I mean, to be clear, it's not the worst narration out there, the voices are okay and the emotions are there, but the pacing... the narrator reads one sentence right after the other without pause a lot, and by that I mean most of the time. At first I thought I had accidentally changed the playback speed, but that wasn't the case.

I listened to the sample for the next book and the narrator seems to have improved on that front; plus the mic quality also seems to have gotten better, but it's not something I hold against this book because it's clearly a freelance narrator, which is why I've still given them 3 stars instead of 1 on the performance.

A good and deep story brought down by the narrator

shame narrator doesn't understand chapters, paragraphs, or even full-stop.

my love of historical fiction started with my male side, Bernard Cornwell, Simon sparrow, and many others. since embracing my female side (and more availability) , I enjoy saphfic stories, and this is excellent, better than a lot for accuracy to the details of daily life.
so pleased female writers are being published in historical action.

excellent story

This is a fantastic storyline full of twists and turns, undercover dealings and heroic battles for peace. Kings that manipulate his people for power and land, with assassins abound danger lurks everywhere. Among the chaos love blossoms and a beautiful romance ensues. 💖
