Ragnarök is here. The end of the world is eating away at Asgard as well as the human realm until there is nothing left but ice and darkness.I’m supposed to stop it—it’s my literal fate, thanks to a meddling Norn and an MIA prophet. Me, and the five alpha gods destined to claim me as theirs. Only now, three of my would-be mates are captured, held in Valhalla until I and their brothers present Loki in chains to stand trial for treason. He’s the God of Mischief, the Betrayer who sold out gods and humans alike for his own, twisted goals… And if we want a chance to save our loved ones, we will have to out-trick the trickster. But magic or no, I am just a human. And I am an omega. My two companions are my only hope of defeating Loki, but their rivalry threatens to tear us apart.They are both fated to claim me. Neither wants to share me with the other. For fans of Marate Eros’ The Druid Series and Patricia Briggs Alpha and Omega series comes a sexy Reverse Harem take on Norse Mythology. Omegaverse at its best!This Paranormal Romance series if filled to the brim with wicked alphas, magic and fated mates.
I am Nora Ash, and I write a plethora of different romance books. Some of them are really dirty, some of them are only kinda-dirty, some are paranormal, some are contemporary… Basically, I have a rampant imagination and no way of controlling it, except from just writing down whichever idea pops into my head at the time.
The one thing my books always have in common, though? A great story and a guaranteed HEA. If you’re ever in doubt about what you’re about to read, have a look at my book page. It has a flame rating for each series, so you know what you’re getting yourself into!
I’m originally from the cold North (AKA Scandinavia) but these days I live in rainy England with my amazing fiancé and our two pesty cats. When I’m not writing, I’m probably reading, watching Real Housewives of Wherever (reality tv it’s my shameful addiction) or hiking in whatever bit of woodland I can find.
Three fun facts about me
I once ran away with a traveling circus I’m bilingual. Almost-kinda trilingual, but my Spanish is terri-bad these days. I’m a decent rider (English style only, though)
You can (and definitely should!) keep in touch with me via my newsletter or by joining my Facebook group.
Weaving Fate picks up from exactly where the previous book left off. Loki and Thor make their presence and they are the worst fathers ever. Why Nora Ash, why did you have to make my favourite Gods with such brutish behaviour? Annabel has a great development here, she finds herself of unique strength of magic. In this book she embarks on a journey with Bjarni and Modi on a quest to save her other mates, Saga and Magni, from Odin inreturn to bring the God of Mischief, Loki.
Annabel's determination was admiring in this book. Coming in terms of her fate she is torn between her mates and with all the emotional and mental connection with them she is constantly battling Lokissons and Thorssons dislike for each other.
This was a fast-paced and engaging read, but it still doesn't leave how the alphas are annoying,
"I am your god. Worship me, omega, and I’ll ease your suffering.”
I would still say this book was better than the first, maybe I've gotten used to the story structure. Grim is the only Alpha left and the cliffhanger that is left with him was shocking. I'm looking forward to seeing more of him on the next book.
Is this a good book? Not really. Are the sex scenes good? Sure.
That pretty much sums up my attitude to Weaving Fate. Plot-wise, it's not as strong as its predecessor; there's a gaping plot hole where at one point, the heroine - WHO'S STUDYING NORSE MYTHOLOGY AT UNIVERSITY - says she doesn't know much about the Norse gods and can't discuss even the biggies like Loki/Odin/Freya, then in other scenes proceeds to be able to identify even minor deities. I dislike plot holes so that really irritated me.
The heroine is basically a Mary Sue with incredible magical powers and fated to five demigod mates (it's not really explained 'why her'). The 'love' is built on nothing more substantial than bouts of sex. A lot of interesting points are raised initially about how an assertive, feminist woman could square that with having a submissive omega nature, but sadly the author quickly abandons this line of thought for the more fertile fields of... fisting.
This second book in the series is an absolutely enthralling tale, so compelling that I almost yelled in disappointment when the end came, I wanted it to never end.
I had to re-read Ragnarok Rising because I wanted to keep every detail fresh in my mind; any reservations I had about the heroine in the first book were transformed with this second delivery, the FMC develops wonderfully with the story, as well as the MMCs; every character has got a distinct personality with their own process of change, their unique strengths and vulnerabilities. I loved all the male characters, so alpha but with a softness that didn't deny their primal side.
We only see the reverse harem dynamic part of the time, the main characters being parted most of the book; I was not sure how if it would be to my liking (I usually prefer RH to be just that, menage action), but the story telling is so engrossing that I didn't feel anything was missing. I felt completely engulfed in fantasy, so good that I read this book in record time...in fact, it would be a great script for a fantasy series or a movie, IMO.
There is plenty of smexy action, super-super-super hot scenes (madre mía level), bold, shamelessly erotic, which is why Nora Ash is one of my absolute fav erotic romance authors. But this is a book of adventures, it may transport you to other worlds, and the best part for me was that Scandinavian mythology is the centre of it, such an exotic world (and relatively unknown, at least in my country, unless you're a Marvel nerd).
I highly recommend this book for readers who look for a complex, clever, richly imaginative plot, specially written for adults who enjoy a raunchier version, stay away if you're easily offended by raw carnality.
One important detail: huge cliffhanger at the end! Hopefully the author won't keep us waiting too long for the next book.
I was kindly offered a copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.
That cliffhanger is killer, but I’m sure I’ve got a good guess for the next book. Once again this author has written an amazing story that will suck you in and keep you till the end!
Everything you want in an Omegaverse - the perfect blend of suspense, action, heat and even humour is what makes this book a fantastic, five star read.
Before reading this book, I first did a quick re-read of Ragnarök Rising (book one in this series) and would recommend others do so too. For those who have not yet read the first book, don’t even attempt to read this one before doing so because you would be lost.
So, Annabel is left in a flat spin when her two mates are part of the four who were just “arrested” and are surely to be sentenced to death. The 3 Lokissons brothers and Magni’s only hope is if Annabel, Modi and Bjarni complete a challenge set out by Odin himself and he does not make it an easy one. I won’t say much more about the content of the story as the author too has said plenty in the blurb and saying anything more would just spoil it.
What I can say is we get to know more about the Alpha’s and I loved how even though Bjarni is known to be the brawn & fighter amongst the Lokisson brothers, he is actually the gentle one with a kind heart and loves to cook for his Omega but pushed too far, then yes, that fighter in him comes out with a vengeance. Modi Thorsson is most definitely a warrior alpha and tries his best to ignore Annabel and what he sees as “only instincts” but there is also more to him and a reason for the way he acts but can Annabel break through to him?
The book is written from a multiple POV, it is a fast burn that seriously heats up the pages and is a RH romance. There is a slight dub con warning but written in such a way that you do know the actions are actually what everyone wants/needs and this is an Omegaverse after all. Please also be aware that the book does end on a cliffhanger … you thought the ending of book 1 was bad, then this one might just have you pulling out your hair (I for one will be counting down to the release of the final(?) book in this series - Betraying Destiny).
I was fortunate to receive an arc copy of this book and this is my honest review.
*voluntarily and honestly reviewed the ARC I received from Booksprout*
Nora Ash usually gets me hot and bothered with her dominating Alphas, but these things only ever work for me when both parties are heavily involved. If there's any doubt (cause honestly what else would the drama be about?) it usually only comes from one of the people, and it's a case of trusting what they feel and why. If there's an instant attraction, that's usually explained by a thing of Fate. It makes you believe that some people are just meant to be and when they act the way they do, they're puzzles that just fit so perfectly.
But with this? I don't know. Annabelle kept having doubts and the way she acted made me think that she honestly wanted nothing to do with her mates or the bonds. I bought into it, and it made it harder to think that there was actually any genuine emotions going around. It made it bleh for this hopeless romantic. And then add on the dubious consent and the break downs and the constant comparison of the bonds and their own free will, and I just felt like I was reading about a group of people who were getting together because Fate's bond told them to, like "Hey, I'm supposed to like you, but you know what? You're actually pretty cool." It's extremely hard to get into it when it feels like they're finding reasons to want to accept this.
Maybe I haven't been reading enough, but just based on being a reader who hasn't had much material to go through, I'm going to say that this was an okay read for me. Not the worst by far, but not thee usual great. Ash's books are all about instincts and sex for me, and when one sex scene involved something that turns me off like a hot tea kettle in the Arctic, the drama was all I could focus on. So the lack of sexy time plus the constant bad feels made for a less than enthusiastic time for me. I still look forward to the third book because not maybe can pull off the dominating Alphas and brute storyline, and if you enjoy dark romance and anything by Ash, this is something to check out.
The Fimbulwinter is upon us and Hel is about to break loose. I know I've been eagerly waiting for this book to see what would happen next in this world of alphas, omegas, and Norse mythology. Well, it picks up where it left off (I for one, re-read the first book so the story was fresh since I've forgotten a lot in the year and a half since it's been out - I'm glad I did). There's a lot happening in this book. Annabel has to come to terms with her destiny for not only have magical powers but living the mattress she already has, along with adding more mates to the mix (yikes). She's feels torn in different directions by their warring emotions and desires and at the same time she feels like she feels that once all is said and done she will be a husk of her former self. You have to remember these are alphas that are used to dominating and not sharing. I will admit there are times when Annabel drivers me crazy (an example is when she acts like a brat going over the rainbow - she volunteered, but then acts childish). Overall this story, though long awaited, was well worth it. So much happened to advance the story line, though we still don't know who the traitor is. The intrigue is killing me. I can't wait for the next book. That cliffie!?!? Man, I don't know what to think of that ending. I'm hoping for the best, but I just don't know!!!

No spoilers! I almost didn’t finish the book. It all started quite confusing, as action picked up right from the previous book’s end. Since I read a lot and have in my list many story lines and characters that I (try to) follow, I have forgotten what exactly happened at the end of book 1. So first chapters were like what-is-going-on-really? for me, what happened before? I think it would be better for readers if authors included short recap at the beginning of next book in the series, it will help tremendously. Otherwise one spends some time trying to reconnect with the characters once again. Second problem I had is the quest the group has embarked on. Reasoning behind Odin‘s decision was unclear so it looked hardly believable to me. But after straggle at the beginning the story picked up, little snippets of past actions helped me to figure out the storyline and it turned out quite interesting overall. There’s lots and lots of (dirty) sex, but it’s a kind of trademark of the author for me so is expected. So if you want to know what happens next to Annabel and her mates, understand whether Ragnarok is upon us, read some hot shmexy scenes, I definitely recommend. But check quickly beforehand the book 1 not to end up confused. Aaaaand... there’s a cliffhanger here too, so enter at your own risk :)

Godling enemies unite as their adventure with the fated Omega continues!
Oh - Nora Ash! This was SO WORTH THE WAIT – So worth it! As we pick the story up at Odin’s Hall in Asgard, we realise that our beautiful Omega Annabel is again doomed to be separated from her bonded mates!
Annabel continues her adventures with another two of the brothers fated to be hers! Modi (son of Thor) and Bjarni (son of Loki) are both Alpha Godlings with bodies built and sculptured to perfection for war and battle. These Godlings find their biggest battle lies in taming the Omega who is destined to be their mate!
As we travel through the human realm in search of the elusive Loki, the god of Mischief and sire of three of Annabel’s fated mates, then on to the disturbing and dark land of grey nothingness known to the Gods as Hvergelmir. Therein resides a dangerous dragon who feasts on the root system of Yggdrasill (Norse equivalent of the Tree of Life) and who does NOT like visitors to his realm.
The usual warnings of 18+ for hot and steamy Alpha/Omega couplings. There are more than a couple of scenes with multiple participants giving this a five-alarm heat rating from me! So sexy!
If you love this author, then you must read this second book. But beware, we end on another cliff hanger. Bring on book three! Four stars.
I’m really enjoying this entertaining, Omegaverse, reverse harem series featuring several gods, goddesses and demi-gods of Norse mythology. ‘Weaving Fate’ picks up exactly where ‘Ragnarök Rising’ left off. Annabel has joined Bjarni Lokisson and Modi Thorsson in their quest to return Loki to Valhalla, as per Odin’s command. I’m not sure which will be the greater challenge though – out-maneuvering the trickster god or convincing Modi to re-think his inherent attitude toward omegas.
I love Annabel – her feisty nature, her determination to succeed and her courage in the face of danger. For an itty-bitty human, she sure packs a lot of punch! The story is well written and the characters are compelling. There’s plenty of drama, action & adventure, magic, mythology, suspense and humour. There’s also some snarky banter and dirty talk too, along with some graphic Alpha/Omega encounters including ménage, but no M/M action. I’m looking forward to the next installment in this highly adventurous tale.

Big fan of Nora’s writing and this is by far the best of her work that I’ve read. In this book, Annabel is forced to leave her two mates behind and return to Midgard to capture Loki in exchange for her mates’ freedom. Bjarni and Magni join her on this quest but keep butting heads. The challenge however is quite difficult as Loki is after all the god of mischief. The alphas also find the call of fate to be irresistible when it comes to the fierce omega. I was happy this book focused mostly on building the story rather than just the sex. Also we get to see the feelings of the characters and understand why they act in a certain way. I felt Grim was kind of abandoned and not mentioned a-lot in this book but if the ending is anything to go by, we’ll be seeing more of him in the next one. Overall, this was an interesting read which I really enjoyed. Looking forward to the next release.

Having read Ragnarok Rising, I was really excited to recieve an ARC of Weaving Fate and let me say...it did NOT disappoint! The characters felt real and multifaceted in spite of the fantasy theme, which made them really relatable. The plot moved quickly enough to keep me enthralled, whilst not rushing the development and kept me reading late into the night. I genuinely did not want to put it down. I don't want to give any spoilers but the Norse God setting is brilliant and if you're a fan of omegaverse and/or the reverse harem genre, then I definitely recommend this book...it's not often we get both in one decent novel. The ratio of story to kinky times was perfect, I hate a long drawn out wait for the juicy parts but like a strong plot to support it and this book definitely had all that. This is the second book in the series, so if you've not read Ragnarok Rising, then definitely start there...I honestly can't praise this highly enough and can't wait for book three.
★ Fast-paced & engaging installment to a series I look forward to continuing ★
—>>> “Five possessive gods and the end of mankind. That's my fate.” Leaving her two bonded mates, Saga and Magni, in the hands of the Allfather of the gods, Annabel sets out with Mogi and Bjarni on a challenge to return with Loki to prove to all back at Asgard that they mean them no harm and have every intention of stopping Ragnarök. They are given a mere three weeks, and this period is definitely fraught with much action and adventure as they try to outwit the God of Mischief himself, the one who has always looked out for himself, and safety return with him to stand trial for treason. However, challenging their task may turn out to be, none may be more important than the ones battling within each of them, while trying to work together to capture Loki in time to reunite with Annabel with her mates. A fast-paced and engaging installment to a series I look forward to continuing!
It’s been a while since I read the first book in this series, Ragnarok Rising. As this one starts immediately at the point the previous book ended, I could have done with a quick recap or rereading the previous book - It took me a chapter or two to get up to speed and remember all the details. It’s a gripping read and I was fascinated by the Norse mythology elements. In this book, Annabelle goes on a quest with Modi and Bjarni and develops a relationship with them as they all work towards a common aim. They encounter various mythological worlds, creatures and characters along the way, all of whom are vividly described. There is a plenty of adventure, passion and emotion in this story, along with enough plot twists to keep you guessing. The ending was very unexpected, paving the way for an exciting next instalment which I can’t wait to read!
First of all I want to mention that I got a copy of this book in exchange for a review, but oh boi. I would buy this book once and over. I did not know what to expect with how the last book Ragnarok ended, I am mildly surprised on the way that the book chose to go in terms of story. What really won me over was the relationship building between Annabelle and her new men, Modi and Bjarni, each of them acting with reason and making believable choices. What were only background characters in the first book and you didn't really pay attention to because Magni and Saga stole the show have really paved the way in this installment. I was dreading to finish this book solely on the fact that I would have to wait to see what happens next! xxx
Another amazing read from Nora. This is the second book in the Omega Prophecy series and has you on your toes from beginning to end. Annabell is on a mission and nothing is going to stop her and we are lucky to be along for the ride.
I would recommend giving the first book a reread before continuing with this one as it could get confusing at times about who's who and previous events .
Also it could be a little difficult to understand some of the references in the book in regards to the places and people being mentioned from folklore and methodologies so you need to be aware of that before proceeding.
Overall the book is amazing and has you in suspense from beginning to end so it's well worth the read!
I received an ARC for this book in exchange for an honest review.
All right so this book was so amazingly good! Annabel finally gets to know 2 more of her 5 mates better and finds that being an Omega tied to these 4 Alphas in not so bad. In fact it's better than she thought. Of course the journey to this realization is not easy, fraught with regret and confusion it takes time for them all to arrive at clarity. This story was full of adventure and some laughs and I enjoyed every moment of it. That ending though....dang it my heart stopped and then fell in disappointment. If you're not a fan of cliffhangers then I woukd suggest you wait till the series is complete. However, make sure you do read this series. It's so good and the world in it is so cool.
This sequel was a long time coming and it took me a little while to get back into the saga, but it was certainly worth it. Annabel and her mates are still trying to undo Ragnarok, but one obstacle after another thwart their progress. Magni and Saga are being held prisoner by Odin and in order to free them, Annabel, Modi, and Bjarni must find Loki and bring him back to Odin. No small task. Lots of danger and some humor in their quest. The trip through the airport is hilarious. And lots and lots of omegaverse sex. The mythology and history seem to be right on and is so interesting. And what an ending! What can I say -- I need the next book!
Weaving Fate is the second book in The Omega Prophecy Trilogy by Nora Ash. It is a reverse harem, omegaverse novel that MUST be read in order. Don’t start this book without finishing the first book in The Omega Prophecy Trilogy, Ragnarök Rising. In this book, Nora grows closer to two of her five future mates, all of whom happen to be alpha Asgardians, each man a son of either Thor or Loki. This is a great fantasy novel with plenty of sexy scenes, fair warning though, it has an infuriating cliffhanger at the end, so be prepared.

Nora Ash has a particular set of writing skills that helps her readers transcend the average experience. We are captivated and courageous, heart-struck and strong, absorbed and titillated, all through the power of her words.
Weaving Fate is the second book in Nora Ash’s Omega Prophecy series and she once again pulls us into Annabel’s experiences with her mates, who are the offspring of mythological gods Thor and Loki.
Not a typical omega to her alphas, we journey with her to save humankind.
Grrrrrrrrr. I absolutely hate cliffhangers. Annabelle is one awesome character. She is in this prophecy to stop ragnarok from continuing but she has to go and find Loki and bring him back to Odin. All the while trying to deal with Loki's son and Thor's son who are enemies. But in the end she prevails, but also that there is a betrayer who you find out at the end who it is. I cant wait til the third one comes out.

I voluntarily read an arc of this book for an honest review. I loved the first book in this series but I have to say with this one? Mind blown! The emotion this author drew out of me was unbelievable. The story wove together incredibly and I couldn’t read fast enough! The characters meld in a way that is at first jarring in their intensity and then so satisfying. I will say, however, I’m so mad at this author for that ending. I’m frantic for the next book! This was such a great book!

Sexy, action-packed, fun and quick—definitely enjoyed this book! I’ve loved Nora Ash’s writing and didn’t realize this was a RH when I started it so consider me pleasantly surprised. I loved the development of B and Modi’s relationship with Annabelle, and think I enjoyed this one even more than the first. I’d accidentally spoiled myself with the ending a bit knowing that she’d end up in Hel, but had NO CLUE that Grim would be the one who took her there! Wow cannot wait for the next book in August!!!

This one was very entertaining in more ways than one. It had more depth of emotions concerning the characters & storyline. Let’s not forget it was interestingly suspenseful and very “OmegaVerse” Erotic. As only that genre can be, meaning it was a scorcher (wooocher) 😆 - Hot as Hel 😍😍😍
Interesting take, plus a cliffhanger that leaves one wanting to go buy book #3 asap-as I’m about to do the minute I finish typing this review.
Yes… off I go, as I’m now invested in this outcome. Ciao 💕 Happy reading.
Weaving Fate is the follow up to Ragnarok Rising. The journey continued following Anna and her fated mates, and destined-to-be mates. I would give this a 3 star rating, as the character development gave me more than the first book, but also left me a little frustrated at the unrealistic heat scenes. I mean we can only wish that the pleasure is like that every time….! But to get past the dub-con and pain, I’ll pass thanks. But I’m hooked - and I need to find out what happens in the final book in the series. Story 3 ⭐️ Spice 3 🌶️
Excellent plan to focus on 2 of the alpha mates in this book, made it easier to focus and learn about Annabel, Bjarni and Modi instead of complicating it with character development of additional 3 other alphas. Loved the fight scene at the end - reminded me of D&D role playing Sex is definitely a tricky one - can be questionable depending on individual likes, but it’s on the HOT scale for me.

This is the second book to the series. The series is dark. You won’t find any sweet romance here,but you will find alphas taking what is theirs and an omega who will claim them too. Annabel has been prophesied to save the world from Ragnorak. Her place within this pantheon of gods will be pushed. She will have to do more than she thought possible to survive and keep the males she cares for alive.
Wow. This book picks up right where the first cliffhanger left off. Annabelle sets off on an adventure to help save her mates that have been taken prisoner. This book is filled with action, emotion, and definitely some erotic scenes. It also leaves off on another cliffhanger that has me wide eyed and screaming to find out what happens next. I’m loving this series and absolutely recommend it.
After her mates are imprisoned by Odin, Annabel must join the hunt for Loki. With ragnorak coming, theres not a moment to lose. Such an incredible world created by Ms Ash. Amazing story and characters. Loving this series and now eagerly anticipating the next book.

Weaving Fate by Nora Ash is an awesome story to read. This is book number two out of three in this awesome series that I have been hooked on since book number one. I highly recommend this story to everyone who loves reading about reverse harem, erotic and paranormal romance.
