Sága zatracených: Osud vepsaný v krev – Jensen Danielle L. (2025)

Freya dreams of one day becoming a warrior, strong and free, but instead, she is trapped in an arranged marriage and spends her days gutting fish. Then suddenly, her dreams come true. But not in the way she imagined. Her husband betrays her and hands her over to the local jarl, who forces her to fight to the death against his son Bjorn. To survive, Freya must reveal her deepest secret: she has a drop of divine blood within her, making her a shield-bearer endowed with unique magic. With it, Freya can repel any attack. At the same time, it has been foretold that whoever holds the fate of the shield-bearer will unite the fragmented Skaland nation. The jarl is convinced that it is his destiny to become the king of Skaland, so he binds Freya with a blood oath and commands Bjorn to protect her from their many enemies. Freya must learn to fight and control her magic while simultaneously facing the dangerous trials of the gods. However, the greatest threat comes from the forbidden attraction to Bjorn. If she succumbs to his charm, she will endanger not only her own life but also the fates of all those she has sworn to protect.
