Fallen Gods is a Norse-inspired adult fantasy romance from Rachel Van Dyken, filled with ancient secrets and perilous desire. The world believed the Gods were myth and the Giants were only stories. They were wrong. The Gods aren't dead - they're merely sleeping, locked in mortal bodies, scattered across the world, waiting for the right spark to wake them. And Rey Stjerne's father is the most ruthless of them all. He raised her to obey, to bleed, and to be his blade when the time came. Now, he's sending her to Endir University, a place steeped in ancient bloodlines and deadly secrets, with one mission: to steal back Mjolnir, the hammer of legend. If she fails, everyone she loves will die. But Aric Erikson wasn't part of the plan. He is the enemy's heir. Distant. Dangerous. And the one person she absolutely cannot afford to fall for. He has closed himself off completely behind a wall of ice, but the more she is ordered to unravel him, the harder it becomes for her to remember where the lies end and who she truly is. Only a mission she never chose - and a man she was never meant to love - stands between her and a war that will decide the fate of the world. For fans of sexy romantasy and Neon Gods by Katee Robert, Rachel Van Dyken's Fallen Gods is a steamy, dramatic myth retelling - the first in a duology. `A must-read for fans of The Cruel Prince by Holly Black' - The Mirror**Fans love Fallen Gods . . . `The chokehold this had me in was unparalleled I mean it'`I was absolutely feral so early on'`I loved the banter and dynamics between Rey and Aric'`They're grumpy, guarded, feisty, and their banter is top tier'`Obsessed. Devoured. Already craving more'
