Fallen Gods is a new Norse-inspired adult fantasy romance from Rachel Van Dyken, filled with ancient secrets and perilous desire.
The legends of the past are never truly dead and buried . . .
Liv Olson has been drawn to Norse Mythology her entire life. After earning her degree and working as a curator at one of New York’s most prestigious museums, she gets an unexpected offer for her dream job in Norway - the same place her brother disappeared months ago - after a cryptic message about finding their long-lost father.
She finds herself surrounded by superstitious townspeople who refuse to even look at the water. Liv soon realizes that the small town of Vonn is nothing like it seems. Shops close before dark, and things she’s only read about seem to suddenly exist. To top it off , her new boss, Tristan, is insultingly mean and engagingly beautiful — and, as part of the job, she must live with him in his mansion.
As her life quickly unravels into chaos, she’s left wondering who’s pulling the strings in this mysterious place where nothing makes sense, yet everything feels familiar.
Her studies have always told her the gods are who you trust. But what happens when the man who’s destined to kill you - is your savior?
For fans of sexy romantasy and Neon Gods by Katee Robert, Rachel Van Dyken's Fallen Gods duology is a steamy, dramatic myth retelling.
