A Fate Inked in Blood By Danielle L. Jensen – Book One in the Saga of the Unfated Duology

“You don’t fear the fire when it’s already inside you.”

Freya longs for freedom. Trapped in a loveless marriage and living a quiet life gutting fish, she dreams of battle, of blades, and of breaking free. When betrayal lands her in a fight to the death, she unveils a secret she’s long hidden: the blood of a goddess flows through her veins, gifting her the power of a shield maiden who cannot be struck down.

Her magic marks her as the one destined to unite the fractured realm of Skaland—but under the control of a ruthless jarl who binds her by blood and sends his son, the fiery and formidable Bjorn, to protect her.

As Freya trains to harness her strength, faces divine trials, and stands on the edge of legend, the one battle she might lose is against her growing desire for the man she should never want. Because loving him could cost her everything.
