From felling dead trees in the Colorado Rockies to slitting the throats of her enemies, Antje had her work cut out for her. Too bad the Norse gods don't offer paid time off.

After a premonition of a terror attack nearly kills her, the god Odin jolts Antje into a violent and confusing spiritual awakening. Seeking answers, she travels to the world's most exclusive school for magic concealed beneath Copenhagen. Immediately thrust into a world of dark magic and global conspiracy, Antje discovers she's no mere mortal—but the incarnation of a valkyrie.

With the help of Cole—a charming CIA agent—and the school's eccentric professors, Antje unravels a sinister plot: the Dark Queen and her putrid army are planning a siege on humanity. Antje must thwart the carnage, not only for Midgard's sake—but to prevent all of the nine realms from plunging into eternal darkness.

There's just one problem: there's no manual on how to be a valkyrie.

CHOOSER OF THE SLAIN is a dark fantasy thriller packed with magic, Norse mythology, gore, dark humor, and a cast of lovably complex characters. With copious twists and turns, this book will keep you guessing until the end. This is book 1/9 in the WATERS OF WYRD series.
