Vie for Valhalla: A House of Asgard Duet
Valen Lanvik is a rare jewel, stolen from another world.
A Viking stowaway, fleeing an arranged marriage to a brutal Earl...
When she battles the sea for her freedom, she finds her salvation in a forgotten cave, hidden through a crack in the cliffs...
A cave that leads her to another realm, where Valen finds herself at swordpoint by a man who promises to kill her...and drags her back to his castle.
She's human.
He's Fae.
His people are vanishing. Their queen has been murdered. Their king is desperate for answers. The realm doesn't trust her.
But going back is a death sentence.
They set out to solve the mystery of the missing...and try not to fall in love.
The Fae plead for the mercy of the lost gods...
And Valen holds the key...
As the battle for Valhalla rages between both their worlds.

About the author
H.B. Elliott
7 books104 followersH.B. Elliott is an over-caffeinated book nerd from North Carolina, where she lives with her husband, her two amazing children, a dog that thinks she's a chew toy, and a cat that's ten times more temperamental.
She started writing in her early teens, and was inspired by dark moody legends like Edgar Allan Poe. Art and photography were a staple in her creative development and remains that way into her adulthood. Her main genre and focus is Romance, though she's acquired a good many hats within that spectrum.
Fantasy is a gateway.
Historical fiction is a drug.
Dark romance is non-negotiable.
Love is more binding than the spine of any book.
Elliott is a firm believer in the Savior, and credits all her success to His name.
After all...He's the one who told her she can do all things.
He also still reprimands her on a regular basis of all the smut she continues to read.

If you're a fan of the show Vikings and you like reading fantasy books about Fae, this is right up your alley. I love how the Viking lore is intertwined with the fantasy world. I'm so excited for book two!!!
( I was fortunate enough to be able to ARC read this. I can wait to get my hands on the physical copy😍)

VfV reaffirms why Fantasy is my 1st love
Idk what happened to my first review, but the zon is letting me do another. Thanks.
I was intrigued by the cover art. Valen's blurb hooked me as it should.
Their story, Valen & Aric's, had me scrolling page after page. Not wanting it to end and knowing it would, for now.
I love the importance of the mating bond. I have a feeling Valen & Aric's is more powerful than any god. Can't wait for book 2. Happy writing.

I just have one question: why is this book not more talked about? I think it deserves its place among the other Fantasy romances!!
This is exactly what you should read when looking for
- enemies to lovers
- Fated mates
- Cursed kingdom
- Trial
- Dual V 🤭
The Viking universe was a nice touch.
Now, that being said this one is a big baby!! And there were extra length that like repetition of what has already been said.
After they fought their desires for each other the book dragged a bit.
Overall I enjoyed it, just thought it should have been shorter

This book was ok... The back and forth between the MMC and FMC was annoying
