Estrid

Valhalla, Book 2

By: Johanne Hildebrandt, Tara F. Chace - translator

Narrated by: Christina Traister

The epic Valhalla saga continues as bloody power struggles sweep across the Nordic lands and a Viking queen's daughter must forge her own destiny.

Fearless Queen Sigrid wants her twin children to fulfill their destinies: her son, Olaf, to become heir to the kingdom of Svealand, and her gifted daughter, Estrid, to secure passage to the underworld as she is promised to Hel, the Norse goddess of death. But Olaf's ascension to the throne depends on Sigrid's former husband, King Erik the Victorious, who despises her and suspects the twins are not his but Sweyn Forkbeard's, Denmark's exiled king.

As long as the Danish throne is in question, Christian kingdoms and pagan clans battle for control. As Sigrid and her people await Erik's return from war, a cross-worshipper is taken captive, whose strange power over Estrid sways her to question her allegiance to the death goddess. When Estrid is kidnapped, Sigrid vows to rescue her - at any cost.

blown away!

this book is just as spellbinding as the 1st. it's well read, has a plot that keeps u guessing and wanting more. sigrid and svene,s story comes to a conclusion while Estrid's is just starting. cant wait for the next book!

Horrible narration

The narrator almost ruins the story. I stick with it simply the protagonists would get together

Not my type of book

I really did not enjoy this book and would prefer to return it to audible
