title: Dead Embers: A Valkyrie Novel #2 (Valkyrie Novels)
author:  T. G. Ayer 
description: <span>"This book does a good job of showing what all of the different gods and creatures can do instead of making the book feel like a sort of primer on Viking mythology, which I appreciated. It certainly made the book a lot more interesting!"</span><span></span><b><i><span>Meg - A Bookish Affair</span></i></b><br><span>"T.G. Ayer has written a fabulous novel, full with raw emotion that will pull you in from the first page. I just loved the way she uses the Norse Mythology ... I can tell you that T.G. Ayer will be on my auto-buy list from now on, because I definitely believe she earns that spot when she finished this book."</span><span></span><b><i><span>Natasja - Lady Caella Reviews</span></i></b><br /><br /><span>"A great series that I recommend everyone reads."</span><b><span></span></b><b><i><span>Sarah - Head Stuck in a Book Reviews</span></i></b><span></span><br> <span></span><span>"T.G Ayer stays right on the money, never losing sight of her plot, it's ever-thickening drama and the overall end game."</span><b><i><span></span></i></b><b><i><span>Kristy - Kristy Berridge Reviews</span></i></b><br> <span></span><span>"The second installment to a beautiful series. I cried and laugh and was on my toes through out the whole book. It was hard to put down."</span><span></span><b><i><span>Jeannette - I Heart Books</span></i></b><span></span>
