A Fate Inked in Blood (Saga of the Unfated, #1) by Danielle L. Jensen

A Fate Inked in Blood by Danielle L. Jensen is a spellbinding Norse fantasy romance where destiny and desire collide with blade-sharp intensity. The first installment in the Saga of the Unfated series immerses readers in a world of warring gods, blood oaths, and a heroine who refuses to bow—even to fate itself.

Freya is a storm trapped in a cage—stuck gutting fish in a stifling marriage, her true self smothered beneath duty and drudgery. But the gods have other plans. Blessed (or cursed) with a rare power that makes her a living shield, her latent strength erupts when betrayal forces her into a lethal trial against Bjorn, the jarl’s hardened son. Her victory comes at a price: a blood oath binding her to a prophecy that demands she unite Skaland’s fractured realms.

Now, Freya must train as a warrior, endure divine trials, and navigate a treacherous court—all while resisting the magnetic pull of Bjorn, the man sworn to protect her but forbidden to claim her. Their chemistry is a blade’s edge: sharp, dangerous, and impossible to ignore. As alliances shift and ancient powers awaken, Freya must choose between the path the gods have laid out and the fire of her own will—even if it means defying the very forces that gifted her power.

With its lush Norse-inspired worldbuilding, slow-burn passion that simmers into an inferno, and a heroine who fights tooth and nail for her autonomy, A Fate Inked in Blood is perfect for fans of:

• Enemies-to-lovers tension forged in battle and betrayal
• Fierce, morally complex heroines who carve their own destiny
• Brooding warrior heroes with loyalty as deep as their scars
• Mythic stakes where love and fate are equally perilous

Danielle L. Jensen delivers a tale as sharp as a seax and as relentless as the tide—a fantasy romance where every choice bleeds, and the greatest battle is for the right to write your own story.
