From the time she was born, Sigrid has only ever been ordinary. Being paired at birth with a plain horse—instead of the powerful winged mare of a valkyrie—meant there would be no warrior path for her. No riding the skies, no glory among the nine worlds. Just the simple, unremarkable life of a stable hand.
Everything changes when a terrible enemy ambushes Vanaheim and Sigrid sees a vision of herself atop a mythical stallion, leading the valkyries into a harrowing battle. Finally, she can grab her future with her own two hands and become the hero of her own story … if she dares.
But her destiny is tied up with Mariam, a fallen valkyrie who’s allied herself with the very enemy Sigrid is trying to stop.
Now Sigrid has left ordinary behind as she begins a journey with the beautiful—if treacherous—valkyrie, each step bringing her closer to answers … and to awakened feelings for Mariam.
But the life Sigrid left behind is starting to look a lot like paradise … especially when her destiny lies in the one place no mortal should tread: the gates of Hel.

Yes, this is a young adult story with a teenage protagonist, Sigrid is 16. Yes, she's incredibly indecisive. Yes, her indecisiveness can be vexing. May I reiterate: she's 16. She has her first crush and isn't quite sure how to act or what to do about it. She wants more out of her life, knowing she's destined for greatness and doubts herself along the way. She falls for obvious traps in the hopes of fulfilling childhood wishes of a loving family. She's devastated when she realizes it's all a lie. She gets exactly what she wants and then backtracks, wanting none of it. She's 16.
Warner captures the insanity of being 16 within a story as equally tumultuous. The only grounding for Sigrid is the loyalty of Hestur, her beloved gelding (Hestur is the bestest boy and deserves all the apples); Fisk, a dark elf ally; and Mariam, her enemy-turned-ally-turned-crush.
Fantastic story, easy to relisten to, and worth the time.
Norse mythology rewritten but in a good way!
