OverviewFrom felling dead trees in the Colorado Rockies to slitting the throats of her enemies, Antje had her work cut out for her. Too bad the Norse gods don't offer paid time off. After a premonition of a terror attack nearly kills her, the god Odin jolts Antje into a violent and confusing spiritual awakening. Seeking answers, she travels to the world's most exclusive school for magic concealed beneath Copenhagen. Immediately thrust into a world of dark magic and global conspiracy, Antje discovers she's no mere mortal-but the incarnation of a valkyrie. With the help of Cole-a charming CIA agent-and the school's eccentric professors, Antje unravels a sinister plot: the Dark Queen and her putrid army are planning a siege on humanity. Antje must thwart the carnage, not only for Midgard's sake-but to prevent all of the nine realms from plunging into eternal darkness. There's just one problem: there's no manual on how to be a valkyrie. CHOOSER OF THE SLAIN is a dark fantasy thriller packed with magic, Norse mythology, gore, dark humor, and a cast of lovably complex characters. With copious twists and turns, this book will keep you guessing until the end.

Her journey through Midgard and subsequent interactions with the gods were magical. I could hear the drums beat, taste the mead, and see the runes. The highest compliment I could give the author is I felt transformed by visions of Valhalla. I was brought into a new world, unfamiliar yet wonderful at the same time. After finishing my drink and reading through all the pages, I took some time to reflect on my thoughts about this thrilling novel. The pace of the story was just right, and the way the author switched between both worlds was seamless. This created a vivid picture of Scandinavian lore, which the author beautifully depicted with brushstrokes of wonder and depth. Overall, I enjoyed the book and would highly recommend it to others. I give it 4 out of 5 stars!"" -Reedsy.com" Author InformationE.S. Oliver lives in the Colorado mountains with her husband and their gaggle of rescue dogs, alpacas, and exceedingly noisy ducks.
