After a long, fraught journey, Frankie landed safe with her family, but her challenges are just beginning. Constant training is taking a toll, and a quick trip to find a lost Valkyrie might be the confidence-booster she needs.
The mission turns out to be anything but simple. The missing Valkyrie is being guarded by Draugr, Hel’s zombie soldiers. Frankie rescues her, but waiting at home is Freyja with even more bad news. The last remaining Valkyries are being hunted, and it’s up to Frankie to save them.
She might be destined to lead the new generation of Valkyries into battle, but when more and more turn up dead, she wonders how her enemies know their every move. If she can’t even protect the people she loves, how can she defeat the gods and prevent Ragnarök?
Amy Cissell is a USA Today Bestselling Author of urban fantasy and paranormal romance novels. She lives in Porto, Portugal with three cats (Frank aka Franklin aka Franklin Delamew Catsevelt aka Frank the Tank, Giles aka Rupurrrt Giles aka Gilly Giles aka Dummy, and Loki aka Lokster aka Loki von Lokenstein aka Dumbass aka STOP THAT RIGHT NOW OMG WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?), her amazing teenager, and her husband (urban fantasy author extraordinaire C. Thomas Lafollette).
Amy is a witch and atheistic pagan with practices rooted in Norse and Celtic traditions. She has more tarot and oracle decks than she knows what to do with (although you can pry them from her cold, dead hands, and she's probably out shopping for more RIGHT NOW) and desperately needs more magic rocks.
In addition to writing a heapload of apocalypse-heavy fantasy, Amy co-hosts the Cliffhangers and Cocktails podcast with Shéa MacLeod.
She’d definitely climb into the back of a windowless van for free champagne, and loves well-timed puns, cozy evenings with a good book, and a family Minecraft session.
Although she reads anything and everything, her first love has always been fantasy. Amy was raised in Narnia and Prydain and Valdemar, but it wasn't until she was 11 and 'borrowed' her father's copy of The Hobbit that her enduring love affair with fantasy (ok, ok - you caught her - the love affair was mostly with dragons) was born.
