The Valkyrie's Rule: Book 2: The Valkyrie of Birca Series Kindle Edition

4.5 out of 5 stars 47 ratings

How can she rule when all she holds true is betrayed?
As the new Jarl, Brenna’s leadership has been tested as she tries to unite the people of Birca with it’s newest residents - the army of the fallen Sigurd the Black. But enemies both within and beyond her borders want vengeance for the warlord’s death.
Vali returns from his task of negotiating trade agreements in the East to find himself replaced as Brenna’s confidante and supporter as she rules over her Jarldom. Vali does not trust Ivar, and cannot understand why Brenna does.
With war looming, Brenna discovers a secret that has been kept from her all her life. But is one lie enough to undo all her truths? The prophecy bestowed on her by the gods takes on a whole new meaning - one that could threaten everyone and everything she loves.
The Valkyrie's Rule is the second instalment of the Valkyrie of Birca series. A gripping Viking saga full of bloodthirsty battles and heartstopping romance.

    I am loving this series, action packed and filled with passion which is what I expect of Vikings whatever they do they do it with passion whether it be loving or fighting, I loved being back in Birca with Brenna and seeing her cope with her leadership, there is a lot going on. It is a fabulous book to lose yourself in.

    Brenna has been Jarl for a few months now and she is being tested trying hard to get the newcomers to mix and unite and be one with the people of Birca and her council are not always good communicators and they live in a time of turmoil and raids so they need to be on their toes at all times with enemies all around. Brenna is fair and just and takes notice of what the Gods say.

    Vali has just returned from his journey negotiating trade agreements and is looking forward to seeing the love of his life Brenna, although welcomed it is not what he expected it to be but he feels that she is being led by one of the new-comers Ivar and Vali does not trust him at all and this causes a few problems between them.

    Trouble arrives in the form of a raid from Gorm who is known to have killed Brenna’s ancestors but from his arrival Brenna discovers a secret that has been kept since her birth and a battle must be won and the prophecy will be better understood.

    This is another fast paced story that had me turning the pages, the battle scenes are true to Vikings and Brenna is a strong fighter never giving up she shows her strength and courage and can admit when she is wrong, and Vali he loves Brenna so much and never stops protecting her. I do highly recommend this one and look forward to book three and catching up with everyone again.

    In book 2 of this series Brenna the warrior Valkyrie of Birca faces difficult choices including who to trust as she fights to protect her people and her family. The battles continue on and off the field as an old enemy and a new foe with a hidden agenda work to erode her leadership, and her relationship with her husband Vali who can’t trust her key advisor. A terrible secret is revealed making Brenna question her destiny. This story has everything you want in a hot Viking romance - plenty of action and fierce battles, enemies lusting for vengeance, a prophecy to unravel and high stakes. I love this series; Brenna, a strong woman sworn to protect, and Vali, the man who’s sworn to love her. (So swoon worthy!) This book can be read as a stand alone. But I can't wait to see what happens next! 5 stars.

    Just finished Brenna's story in two sittings. This is my first Viking book and not my last. Actually, I just came back and bought the second in the series. I thought the author did a brilliant job with setting, time and Viking feel. I loved it, and Brenna, and the world she created. Well done. Kudos. xx Fi who will read book 2 tonight in bed

    A perfect addition to the series.
    I have never been into romance, but the way it is merged with feirce battles and viking history, has me longing to find out what happens next with Brenna and Vali. I can't wait to read Book 3, The Valkyrie Queen.
