Wolf of the Nordic Seas (Valiant Vikings Book 2) by Jennifer Ivy Walker - a review




Book Review: 5 Stars

Wolf of the Nordic Seas was a really enjoyable read and easy to get pulled into from the beginning, even though I haven’t read the first book in the series. The story works well on its own and gives enough background to feel settled in the world without being confusing.

Njörd is a strong, duty-bound warrior with more depth than you might expect, and Elfi is confident, capable, and very much her own person. Their relationship develops at a comfortable pace and feels natural, shaped by shared challenges and growing trust rather than rushed moments.

The plot moves along nicely, balancing action, romance, and touches of mythology without dragging. There’s always something happening to keep things engaging, and I stayed invested in the characters right through to the end.

If you enjoy Viking-inspired romance with adventure and heart, Wolf of the Nordic Seas is well worth a read and works perfectly well even if you’re new to the series.

About the book

The Blurb

Named after the Norse God of the Sea, Njörd grew up sailing, swimming, and fishing the fjords of Norway. Endowed with extraordinary senses, speed, and strength, he became known as Wolf of the Nordic Seas, leading lucrative Viking raids from the Baltic shores to the Black and Caspian Seas. When a Viking völva foretells his future through a seidr vision, Njörd learns that his fate and his mate—the siren with the sea goddess eyes—lie on the alabaster coast of Normandy in the distant Land of the White Chalk Cliffs.

Elfi Thorfinnsdóttir is a skilled shieldmaiden who seeks vengeance against the ruthless Frankish count who killed her brother and abducted her father in an attempt to seize her clifftop castle. But rather that submit to the count’s relentless demand for her hand in marriage, Elfi allies with Richard the Fearless—the Viking Duke of Normandy— and the Danish Jarl of Ribe known as the Wolf of the Nordic Seas.

As Elfi and Njörd discover startling secrets about their respective pasts, they find that the three Norns have entwined the threads of their fates not just as political allies, but as mates destined to fulfill a divine prophecy.

Wolf of the Nordic Seas— book 2 of the Valiant Vikings series set in tenth century Normandy— is a sizzling, scintillating blend of historical fiction, Norse mythology, paranormal fantasy, and steamy Viking romance!
