Eric Linnaeus - ALTERNATE
ALTERNATE! Is a standalone prequel that runs concurrently to the original Eric Linnaeus series. Set in a parallel timeline where Mercury Linnaeus—Eric’s father— survives, their world is war-torn and ruled by his malice.
In this steamy dark fantasy, a centuries-old battle wages between the Fae, an ancient race of elves, and savage deities known as the Vanir. With his loyal son by his side, Mercury’s influence spreads and hope is fading as all who dared resist are eliminated one by one.
Now, only the Fae remain to stand against the Vanir, but their dwindling numbers and apathetic nature offer little hope. The future looks grim until an unlikely relationship sparks between Nathaniel, a disgraced Fae heir, and Eiríkr, the tainted son of Mercury.
Can Nathaniel sway Eiríkr to his side, or will the detestable savage corrupt him further…?
The standalone Prequel/Book six in the dark fantasy horror series Eric Linnaeus.

✨ I read this book in essentially a day! Once you pick it up you can’t put it down
✨The angst is this book is so well written, the characters break your heart
✨Does enemies to lovers so well
✨Favs from the original series I didn’t expect to see appeared! Kicked my feet to see old favourites
✨Eric and Nathanial I don’t care how toxic you are I love you together
🪄I’m personally not a massive fan of time travel, however I’m reserving any opinions on how it’s done until I read the next book (need a release day asap please)
🪄 Missed having the characters perspectives during the final fight, but I’m personally more of a character development/emotional journey reader than an action/fight scenes reader. That said the final battle was still well written
