“
Food’s
not the only thing.” Forse stared meaningfully into my eyes.
“There’s a certain goddess that has consumed my every thought from
the minute I left Svartalfheim. And if she’s okay with leftovers,
I’d much rather devote my full attention to
her
.”
“
Well you
don’t seem
terribly
hungry,” I mused. “And I suppose we could always pack this
up and—”
But I
never got to finish my thought. Forse swept me up in his arms and
raced us across the snowy meadow, barreling toward my cabin without
a backward glance. As he opened the front door and carried me
across the threshold, my heart soared. Whatever the future held, my
present was beautifully
perfekt
. I was irrevocably tied to the love of my
existence, standing at the starting line of an incredible journey.
And I knew that between Forse’s head and my heart, we could handle
any challenge the Fates threw at us.
Together.

The Ære crew will return in
(THE ÆRE SAGA: BOOK FOUR)
Valkyrie
Brynn Aksel is ready for some downtime. With her friends safely
returned from the dark realms and the school year off to a quiet
start, she’s ready to settle back into her roles as Henrik
Andersson’s girlfriend, the God of War’s bodyguard, and her mortal
roommate’s Asgardian mentor. But when an urgent message arrives
from Asgard, it becomes clear there’s no rest for the
gods
…not when the
security of the realms is on the line.
The
Goddess of Love has fallen ill, her emotional reserves tanking
almost a year after her Helheim imprisonment. An unsanctioned
connection with a mortal is the only thing keeping her in the
light, but Freya’s vow to the Norns prevents her from fully uniting
with her
perfekt
match. War’s human girlfriend could delay the effects of
Freya’s illness, but the ban on inter-realm unions prevents her
from accessing her power. Saving Love is going to require a very
persuasive argument to three very stubborn sisters…and a journey
straight through the darkness. With the collective happy-ever-after
of the cosmos on the line, Brynn and Henrik must travel to the
heart of the realms to save their friend, their love, and the
future of their worlds. And with an inexplicable cold spell
gripping Midgard in its treacherous tentacles, more than just Love
hangs in the balance. Ragnarok is coming. And it’s shaping up to be
the
perfekt
storm.
TAKK!
Mange takk
for reading the third book
of
The Ære Saga
. I hope you enjoyed reading Elsa and Forse’s
adventures every bit as much as I enjoyed writing them. (Seriously,
I had a blast!) It’s been an epic adventure getting to share these
crazy Norse gods’ stories, and it wouldn’t be possible without the
support of truly amazing readers. I am incredibly grateful for you.
Tusen takk
for dreaming across the realms with me!
Skål
y’all!
Before finding domestic bliss in suburbia,
S.T. Bende lived in Manhattan Beach (became overly fond of Peet’s
Coffee) and Europe…where she became overly fond of McVitie’s
cookies. Her love of Scandinavian culture and a very patient
Norwegian teacher inspired the books of
The Elsker Saga
and
The Ære Saga
. She hopes her characters make you smile, and
she dreams of skiing on Jotunheim and Hoth.

If the Seventine are released, will anyone
survive?
Abigail Swish might not love her life, living
in gang-ridden New York in 2035 and training to fight and survive
with Compound 23. But she is grateful for a few things, especially
her no-filter-between-brain-and-mouth best friend Lucy and her
escape each night into a dream world far different from her
own.
In fact, sometimes she lives for the fleeting
moments she spends at night with the man who fuels every romantic
fantasy she’s ever had. But each morning reality returns. She could
just cry. But she won’t. Tears don’t change a thing.
Then without any warning, a month before her
eighteenth birthday, everything does change. A guardian finds her.
He explains, in a strangely familiar accent, that she was stashed
on Earth for safekeeping and has been lost to her family ever
since. And it is time to return home. To First World; a land of
unimagined beauty.
Abigail and Lucy find themselves thrust from
New York and into another world. Day one: traversing through an
unforgiving wilderness. Yeah, because that sort of thing just
happens every day. Luckily an unexpected savior arrives; the man
from her dream-world. Brace is six-and-a-half feet of perfectness,
wrapped in an arrogance like no other. Unable to trust his
assistance, and unsure which of her instincts to follow - kiss him
or punch him in the mouth - Abigail eventually accepts his help to
find her family.
And what a family. Enter Josian, her father,
larger than life and apparently not even human. He is Walker, a
planet-less race revered as gods, causing mischief and mayhem
through-out this star-system. Unfortunately, there is no time for a
cozy reunion, since her return to First World is the unknown
catalyst, setting forth a chain of events which could spell
disaster for all worlds.
