From the bestselling author of the Pegasus books, Kate O'Hearn, comes
an exciting new series that puts a fresh twist on Norse mythology.
Valkyrie: Norse Goddess. Reaper of Souls. Defender of the Weak. Not
someone you want to mess with...
Freya is dreading her upcoming birthday when she'll officially have to
take up her duties as a Valkyrie. She doesn't want to follow in the
footsteps of the legends before her--legends including her mother and
sisters. And she certainly doesn't want anything to do with humans!
Freya thinks humans are cruel, hate-filled creatures, but as she
observes their world, she begins to wonder what it would be like to make
friends with the girls or laugh with the boys she sees. And what would
it be like to live without the fear that she could cause someone's death
with a single touch?
Then when she's sent on her first mission, she reaps the soul of a
fallen soldier with unfinished business...business that sends her on an
epic quest to the mortal world. Will Freya find the true meaning of
being a human, or will she finally accept her destiny?
