A beautiful epic of love, longing, redemption, and enchantment in the tradition of Marion Zimmer Bradley's The Mists of Avalon Iceland, AD 1000Freya knows that her people are doomed. Warned by the Fates of an impending disaster, she must embark on a journey to find a magnificent gold necklace, one said to possess the power to alter the course of history. But even as Freya travels deep into the mountains of Iceland, the country is on the brink of war. The new world order of Christianity is threatening the old ways of Iceland's people, and tangled amidst it all are two star-crossed lovers who destiny draws them together—even as their families are determined to tear them apart Infused with the rich history and mythology of Iceland, Betsy Tobin's sweeping novel is an epic adventure of forbidden love, lust, jealousy, faith and magical wonder set under the shadow of a smoldering volcano.

I could not put this book down. I loved the blend of historical and norse mythology. It took about 50 pages to get into (mainly due to the number of different characters). Still, I enjoyed the story and loved the characters of Dvalin, Freya, Fulla and Sky. I do wish there was more about Odin, and Loki, but think the book was the perfect length as is.
Really really liked this one! Though usually not one of my favorite genres, this novel is just so beautifully written it pulls you in from page one! Definitely one to add to your “to read” list!
