Shadows of Kiev

By: Eliza Tilton

Narrated by: Matyas Job Gombos

The Northmen are coming and they seek vengeance.

After accompanying his father to a Slavic settlement to investigate strange tales of the undead, Viking Folkvarr discovers that - not only do the dead walk - the whole forest seems to want his kind dead. When his father is kidnapped by the magical rusalka maidens, there's only one person who can help, but Vikings and Slavs just don't mix....

Ever since her parents were slaughtered by Vikings, Agna has feared and hated the Northmen. When a voldak attacks her in the woods, she realizes the dead are much more terrifying than Vikings. Putting aside the hate and distrust, she decides to help a young Viking, and stop the madness invading her home.

With generations of dislike running through their veins, Folkvarr and Agna must embrace their growing desire, and work together to save both of their people from the rising dead. But sometimes, love isn't enough, and it can't stop what's about to come.

Sink your teeth into this YA dark fantasy, filled with Vikings, romance, fantasy, and monsters, in 9th Century Kiev. Fans of the Leigh Bardugo's Grisha Trilogy will fall in love Shadows of Kiev.

Amazing

This is the first time I have ever heard of such a wonderful story! There were so many twists and turns! There are creatures that I have never heard of before! I can’t wait to read more from this amazing author!!

another intricately built world!

Eliza Tilton has an extraordinary gift for world building. This is my second book I've listened to by her and I'm just as impressed as the first.
In this story she weaves a tale of Vikings and Slavics, mystical beings, witches, undead and more!
I'm not sure if there will be a book two, but I need more of Folkvarr, Agna and Cole.

Matyas is a new narrator for me and while he did a good job I was missing the addition of a female voice. I would listen to another of his narrations for comparison. I tend to have higher expectations for male narrators in this genre, which isn't a reflection on him!

Great book

I writing my honest review this is not my normal listen or read. For me it started out slow but as you get further in the book it gets really good! I want to know what happens next. I felt even though it was slow it was necessary for the build up very worth it and narration was amazing loved the flexibility he had!!

great story

Wonderful Viking Book

Captivating enemies to lovers romance with a Viking twist

Cursed Dead Men Walking...Battle-Scarred...Sacred Willow...Water Spirits...Magic...Witches

This Viking interpretation captured me from the beginning. I love the detailed character descriptions and intricate world building. This is a true enemies to lovers romance filled with sacrifice, loss, devotion, trust, and love.

Would you be willing to sacrifice yourself for those who have wronged you? Sometimes the price seems too high to pay.

Have faith. Choose to have hope. Love has no bounds.
