"You are the question, Eldshjarta. The gnista - the spark they feared."Eira Vale spent twenty-four years believing she was ordinary.After her parents' deaths, she folded into quiet routines and smaller versions of silence-selling sage and small magic at an apothecary, dodging a law-school application that kept blurring into runes, and telling herself the strange heat beneath her skin was only grief. To the world, she was merely safe.Or so she believed-until the eve of Freyfaxi, when she does the one thing her father swore would wake the old blood. She walks andsælis: backward, against the sun, three slow circles around her parents' graves. A plea, spoken to stone.Stone answers.Frost devours the granite headstone.

With her scarred, oath-bound guardian Killían and her sharp-tongued scholar friend Rúna walking beside her, the ordinary life shatters completely.She was raised to hide, but born Eldrkyn.Eldrkyn: Rise of the Gate is the first book of The Fatebreaker Saga-a dark Norse fantasy of stolen memories, forbidden realms, dangerous magic, and a heroine who refuses to be erased.She wasn't chosen by fate. She shattered it. Read more
