Her Ivory Flame (Norse Flame Duet)
The Valkyrie were dead.
She alone held Odin's power.
Her Problem? She can't access it.
The Valkyrie bloodline was slaughtered to extinction, or at least that is what she led the world to believe. Betrayed by an allied kingdom she swore to protect during the last war, Alyra went into hiding for almost a century.
As princess of the Valkyrie race, she was the last to wield Odin’s power, The Ivory Flame. Her power could only be given willingly to another and she spent months being tortured by the enemy King in his attempt to make her give it up. In order to protect it, she built a wall around it and even after her escape, she couldn’t break it down.
Now, war was coming again, and her power was needed to sway the odds against the enemy. Reluctantly, she returns to fight for the same kingdom that betrayed her and is assigned a combat trainer to help get her power back. He is brutal, dark, and pushes her to her breaking point more often than not.
An earth-shattering betrayal rocks her world just as she thought she was making progress and it takes everything she has to fight for the world she loves, even if she can’t trust anyone in it. Contains memory/talk of torture, explicit sexual content, violence, and narcissistic manipulation.

"Death searched for her, Death found her, and yet Death himself was not strong enough to take her." When a book starts out with a line like this one - I know it's going to be good. This was an ARC read that I asked to join and it turned out to be one of the best books that I have read all year (and I read a lot of books). Alyra is the last Valkyrie and she has no magic left, yet she is called upon to help save the kingdom. We're taken on a journey of torture, loss, betrayal, love and resilience. When I finished this book I had to lay it down and just walk away to recover. I thought the beginning was a fire starter? The ending had me stunned and wishing I already had book two in my hands. This is a book I will definitely be buying for my book "trophy shelf".
