Wolf of the Nordic Seas
(Valiant Vikings Book 2)
By Jennifer Ivy Walker
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!

My Review
I don’t know much about Norse mythology beyond the basics, and I was slightly wary of starting Wolf of the Nordic Seas without having read the first book. That concern disappeared almost immediately. The story is easy to settle into, and it never assumes prior knowledge or leaves you feeling behind.
The mythological elements are folded into the narrative in a way that feels natural rather than instructional. Gods, prophecy, and fate are simply part of the world, revealed as the story unfolds rather than explained outright. It made the reading experience immersive without ever feeling heavy.
The romance is swoon worthy and believable.
This was my first time reading Jennifer Ivy Walker, and it left a strong impression. The writing is confident, the story engaging, and by the final pages I realised I was genuinely disappointed to be finished. A very enjoyable read that I would happily recommend.
