Viking's Ransom (Viking Ancestors: Rise of the Dragon Book 4) Kindle Edition

by Sky Purington (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.7 out of 5 stars 109 ratings
A gripping adventure that tests the true strength of love and the devotion of dragon mates in a heart wrenching journey ripe with sizzling romance and boundless intrigue.

Kenzie is determined to be there for her sisters no matter what it takes. Even if it means giving herself over to her fated mate, Viking Eirik Sidgir. When she ends up traveling through time to tenth century Scandinavia, she's ready for whatever comes her way. Until a chance encounter with Hel, the Goddess of Helheim, who has long loved Eirik.

Having recognized Kenzie from the moment he saw her picture in the twenty-first century, Eirik realizes the time has finally come. A secret close to the heart is about to be revealed, and the stunning red-head is the only person capable of protecting what matters most to him.

Unfortunately, Hel has already stolen Kenzie away. Now he needs to convince the goddess to give him back his bargaining chip because of a little known prophecy. One that foretells he must offer up the woman he loves as ransom to get back what has been taken from him.

"She has done it again, this book is awesome, the story flows and pulls you in. I couldn't put it down." ~Amazon Customer

"I just couldn't put the book down! Had me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end....the descriptions of each world were just incredible, I felt like I could picture it as though I were watching a film. The MacLomains and Sigdirs truly deserve a TV series, at the very least!! Well done! Can't wait for the next one!" ~Amazon Customer

Viking's Intent- "Once again Sky has managed to put a new twist in the series that I never saw coming, I can't wait to see how that progresses in future books. Maybe a whole new series?" -Amazon Customer

    If you're a fan of dragons and time travel, along with Vikings and Norse mythology then this is the book for you! Part of a larger series, if you've not read any of the previous books I HIGHLY suggest at least checking out the previous few in this spinoff from the main series. I've been waiting for this book as we FINALLY get to see Eirik and his fated mate Kenzie go on their trial. Like all the others there are crazy twists and turns along the way, and more than a few jaw dropping shockers! Kenzie is a fierce female and Gemini Dragon worthy of any Viking warrior. Her heart and compassion for all creatures, coupled with her fierce protective streak make her a true force to be reckoned with. This book is filled to the brim with mythology, dragons, time travel,
    action, prophecies of old, hot Vikings and amazing women that love them!!! I for one can't wait to see more of Kenzie in future books regarding her remaining sisters and their own journeys. More secrets to unearth and mysteries to uncover....until next time

    Goodness this book!! There are not enough good things to say about this world Sky has created. It is simply amazing. I knew going into it that it would probably be emotionally taxing because of Eirik 's closeness to Helheim and to the goddess Hel herself but nothing could have prepared me for why it the secrets that come out in this book.

    Eirik Sigdir has had a very lonely existence, since the age of 14 his family and kin couldn't be around him without getting sick because of his closeness to the underworld. Eirik has spent very limited amounts of time since with his kin, his only companion all of these years has been Hel. Eirik is missing human interaction and a person's touch, something he hasn't had since he was 14. He has been on the fringes of his cousins adventures, finding their mates and stopping the war waiting for her, waiting for his turn.
    Kenzie is the middle sister and the peace keeper in her family. She has an affinity to save animals and people a like. Kenzie doesn't do love or long lasting relationships, she just isn't cut out for it. Being pulled back in time to ancient Scandinavia was expected but the deep pull she feels to Eirik is a shock, she has never felt anything like it. As time goes, Kenzie and Eirik remember their past life and the events leading to their traumatic death.

    Love the World and Characters Sky Has Created! The magic and time travel, how she melds past, present, realms, mythology and especially current and local locations. I love how she weaves beloved characters into new stories and when someone who was briefly part of an older story finally gets their story told and you get that “aha” moment when you remember them from the other story and things make so much more sense. I highly recommended reading all of the books in listed or - you don’t want to spoil any of the surprises, or miss any of the hot Highlanders, Vikings, Dragons and their feisty mates

    As always with this ever expanding world(s) of ancient Vikings and Scots with “special powers”; this book is excellent. It got a bit convoluted in the middle of the story; but, somehow, Ms. Sky unraveled the bits and the book began to flow with the usual “fun and games” her followers have come to love and expect. Very sexy/steamy characters and some equally steamy scenes. Love Pink, Floyd, and Harley too! I hope a girlfriend is in Harley’s future! 😉

    5.0 out of 5 stars Eirik is keeping a secret.....will it keep him from getting his HEA?
    Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2019
    Verified Purchase
    I was given an ARC of this book for an honest review and purchased the published addition.

    My heart has hurt for Eirik through this whole series, his life seriously sucks. Stuck living most of his adult life in the world of the dead, he makes everyone sick when he’s around them except for the Goddess of the Dead? Yeah this poor dude needs some major hugs. Grant MacLomain will always be my favorite of Sky’s characters, and didn’t she torture him quite a bit as well, but I think Eirik is my new second favorite.

    Kenzie seems to be a little bit more accepting of the fate that awaits her in this prophecy, mating with someone chosen for her in order to save her family, a refreshing change from all of the angst some of the rest of them have experienced, but things are never quite as simple as they seem.

    Eirik is keeping a secret, and it’s a doozy, tied to yet another prophecy. Just once wouldn’t it be nice if when someone spoke a prophecy they just blurted it out in simple English, with instructions? Yeah, I don’t see that happening either, which usually means someone is going to make a few false turns before they get to the truth of the matter. I won’t give away any spoilers here, you’ll have to read to find out what this new twist is.

    Sky does it again with Eirik and Kenzie's story. Full of twists and turns, steamy love scenes, and incredibly visually descriptive worlds. I literally finished this book in one sitting because I couldn't put it down. Now I have to wait until July for Rokar's story... Don't know how I'm going to do it. I've read the full Maclomain/Sigdir series twice and I love her books and characters so much, I'll say it again and again: Sky needs some kind of TV/movie deal for this.

    Eirik and Kenzie are both hiding secrets, making it difficult to move forward. Wow...did they ever move forward.
    Viking’s Ransom really revived my interest in this Viking’s series...the last few books in the series were beginning to be cooky cutter stories. Viking’s Ransom was somehow fresher and more interesting, renewing my enjoyment for this series. You won’t be disappointed with this book, and all/any of Sky Purington’s books.

    Let me start by saying I love Sky Purington. I reread the three Viking ancestors books with Megan, Veronica, and Amber annually. The next in the series, with Heidrek and the like, are also good. However, by the middle of this series, the writing is much weaker, and lots of "and then the unexpected happened" at the end of chapters. It feels as if the lore has gotten out of hand. I recommend the other Viking series (earlier) over this series.
