Last week, Frankie had a great job and an amazing fiancée. Now she’s sleeping in a storage closet and taking advice from a talking cat.
A timely warning sends her rushing into a burning building. Choosing to save the woman she loves and condemning an innocent man to death wakes the Valkyrie power she never knew she had.
Frankie can choose who lives and who dies, and that draws the attention of exiled gods looking for a way back to Earth. If she doesn’t learn the rules and choose sides quickly, the world will burn, and Ragnarök will begin.
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.
