What Ellie doesn’t anticipate is Graham’s infuriating best friend, Tuck, tagging along for the trip. Nor did she imagine boys going missing amid rumors of impossible kidnappings. Least of all does she expect something powerful and ancient to awaken in her and that strange whispers would urge Ellie to claim her place among mythological warriors. Instead of peace and quiet, there’s suddenly a lot for a girl from L.A. to handle on a summer sojourn in Norway! And when Graham vanishes, it’s up to Ellie—and the ever-sarcastic, if undeniably alluring Tuck—to uncover the truth about all the disappearances and thwart the nefarious plan behind them.
Deadly legends, hidden identities, and tentative romance swirl together in one girl’s unexpectedly-epic coming of age. (Summary by Goodreads)
When I was about twelve years old I really got into mythology. Greek, Roman, Korea, or Norwegian, it didn't matter. I'm pretty excited about this spin on the Valkyries, which I think is a trend along the lines of angels, but regardless I think this looks pretty freaking awesome.
Valkyrie Rising comes out Oct. 9th.
This one does sound intriguing! Like the cover too! Is it me or do the hills behind her sort of resemble wings? I may be projecting that image since Christina Henry's books do that with her heroine!
