Publisher Description
While recovering from a devastating betrayal, Solina becomes increasingly drawn to Thorin as he helps her hunt down Skoll, the mythical wolf who vowed to kill her. If she can find and destroy the beast, she’ll bring a swift and brutal end to her enemies’ schemes. But nothing ever goes as planned in Solina’s strange new world.
During her search for Skoll, Solina uncovers a plot to unleash a battalion of legendary soldiers and launch an apocalyptic war. Before she and her allies can locate the fabled army, several ghosts from her past return to haunt her. Solina must fight for life and the fate of the world, or her hopes for love and a peaceful future will go up in flames.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Laurel (Arctic Dawn) presents her heroine, Solina Mundy, with a myriad of difficult choices in this satisfying, mythology-tinged third volume of her Norse Chronicles. Solina, although human, wields the fiery power of the Norse sun goddess and is allied with Baldur Odinson, the present Allfather; thunder god Magni Thorin; and a host of Valkyries. Arrayed against them are Helen Locke, better known as Hela, goddess of the Underworld; the wolf Skoll; trickster Vali Lokison; and Helen's army of stone golems. Solina has to balance her desire to avenge her brother's murder with the need to proceed cautiously to avoid Helen's traps. She must also decide whether to give in to her growing attraction to Thorin and learn to harness her visions. New readers will be lost, but series fans will enjoy the character growth, the mystical elements, and the many battles of epic powers.
Customer Reviews
Had me on the edge of my seat!
I received a free copy of this book with the option of providing an honest review.
Molten Dusk is an amazing story that had me on the edge of my seat from the first page. I want more!
The character development is off the hook! Solina's powers have evolved during the series, and so has her personality. She's seen some pretty terrible things, watched as those closest to her have died, and fallen in love. If that doesn't make a demi-goddess evolve from a squishy and scared mortal into a force to be reckoned with, I doubt anything will. As Solina's character evolves, we get to learn a bit more about Thorin's past and see another side of him. While he still remains a scary Aesir with a big hammer, we see his loyalty, his concern for Solina, and his desire to keep the past from repeating itself.
The settings in the book are spectacular! The words leaped off the page and straight into the movie reel in my mind, providing me with panoramic views of the places in the book. Laurel did such a great job with the descriptions and it really set the tone for the different chapters of the book. The premise is totally enticing and enthralling. Will Hel ultimately triumph over the Aesir, the Valkyries, the Allfather, and Solina to start Ragnarok? It's fantastic because it's an age-old story filled with battling gods, love, betrayal, and action; however, all of this is going on in a realistic, contemporary setting. What more could a gal like me who enjoys mythology and contemporary paranormal books ask for?
If you're like me and enjoy a bit of mythology combined with clean romance and narrated from a new adult point of view, you'll fall in love with "The Norse Chronicles" and Molten Dusk!
