How was your week!! I am starting up the Freebie Friday series again! Reading has been the one constant in my life and has gotten me through so many things. I am unsure what I would have done without books to pull me through. What books mean to me has been difficult to explain to others but if you know, you know.
The economy is hard for so many right now and I completely understand. That being said, I know that free books can bring so much happiness to readers and authors alike. I am going to be doing this blog series again and trying to share books with very few reviews. I would love for you all to try the books and post reviews or at least ratings. It would be a wonderful gift for the author this time of year.
Let’s get to today’s free book, shall we?
Born unto Mayhem (The High Fire Saga Episode 1)
Author: Timothy J R Rains
Published: November 29, 2023
In an age of fear, when berserkers haunt the forests of Scandinavia, a new terror rises in the north …I’m sixteen this year, and my mother says I should marry soon.
Loki.
I already would be married if any chieftains’ sons were man enough to have me.
When I do find a husband though, I’ll inherit the village of Borg, which as the Princess of Lofoten is my birthright.We’ll have several farms and command a fleet of viking ships. I’ll give birth to mighty warrior sons or a fierce shieldmaiden like myself.And perhaps one day, if it pleases the gods, I’ll take my grandfather’s place as the Jarl of Hålogaland.
That’s how things might have been—if my entire life hadn’t been a lie.
But now the secret’s out, even if I am the last to know.
And the truth has awakened something … something frightening within me.
I’ve always had a temper. There’s enough young men with missing teeth who can attest to that.
But this? This is different.
This rage. This hunger. This intense thirst for blood.
It’s more than I can control.
The worst part? It all makes sense when I learn who my father really is.
This book had me at Scandinavia! I think there are so many interesting myths and legends there and a few may be interwoven in this text. It seems there will be a strong female protagonist as well! From what I have looked at, this seems promising.
What are your thoughts?
It’s free…FREE!! You’ve got nothing to lose.
