A Curse Carved in Bone (Saga of the Unfed 2) / Danielle L Jensen / 9781804947173

With her divine heritage revealed, Freya finds herself on a path that could cost thousands of lives. Desperate to avoid this fate, she risks an alliance with Skaland's greatest enemy to seek answers from the seer who foretold her future—the same seer who sent Bjorn to kill her. Though Freya seethes over Bjorn's betrayal, blood oaths demand she keep him close as she hunts for a way to avert war. Her magic draws her to the front lines of an old enmity, embroiling her with Nordeland's Unfated—children of the gods who serve the king she was raised to fear. Despite the desire burning between them, Bjorn's growing distrust of Freya's chosen path threatens to drag them apart. As war approaches, gods and mortals must choose their weapons. Yet the fiercest battle will be the one Freya wages within herself. With two goddesses' magic burning in her veins, she must weave destiny's threads to decide her fate: Will she be the shield that protects her people or the curse that destroys them?
