Summary

A throne in peril, a tragic betrayal, two heirs struggling to save their land, and a prophesied war threatening to engulf the world....

Bjorn, youngest heir to the Mad Jarl of Oakharrow, has always felt more at ease with a quill than a sword. Yet when calamity strikes his family, he must draw a blade and lead a company of warriors into the cold, deadly mountains in pursuit of a mysterious foe. Though he seeks vengeance, an ancient power stirs within him, and the whispers of prophecy beckon him toward an ominous destiny....

Aelthena, Bjorn’s sister, was born with the aptitude to lead, and she’s eager to prove it. But her society’s rules for women, and her love for her brother, restrain her efforts to command. As she walks the fine line between ambition and virtue, enemies of both mankind and myth rally against Oakharrow, and even her allies question her right to rule....

The Runewar is rising and it begins with the fall of a throne.

A harrowing tale of the struggle for power and the dawning heroes who rise above it, The Throne of Ice & Ash is book one of the Norse high fantasy series The Runewar Saga.

A headache

I listened and I listened. But. The spark never came.
Narration was Superb I cannot say otherwise.
The tale never 'grabbed' me as other JDL Rosell stories have.
In fact it gave me a headache as to what to say!
Don't let my headache deter you though.
Try it a see.

The Throne of Ice and Ash

I enjoyed the story, but I was disappointed when I heard Bjorn say he was ok. Viking era language did not contain the word okay. Writers should know this. Language has to be authentic. Also the word 'shiver ' was over used in this story for me.
