About M. O’Keefe
M. O’Keefe is the darker, more dangerous pen name of bestselling author Molly O’Keefe. She is the USA Today Bestselling author of the Everything I Left Unsaid series and the upcoming Stolen Hearts.
I have loved what I have read from Tiana Warner, so when I saw The Helheim Princess, I had to have it. I love myths and legends and reading books that stretch my imagination.
‘Sigrid urged Hestur to a gallop….’ and their mad dash to Vanaheim and back had me cracking up. I’ll leave it to you to find out why, but with a start like that, I feel good about the rest of the story.
Sigrid has no memory of her family and she is bullied by the Valkyries. She wants so much to be one of them, but so many things work against her. Valkyries have magical horses and Hestur is not magical, or white and gorgeous. He is brown, ordinary looking, but as fast as the wind. She trains in secret…and it will come in handy.
Dire wolves. Night elves. Helheim…the land of the dead.
On Sigrid’s quest for her destiny, she will be used and betrayed, but she will also find the most loyal friends and her place in the world.
Tiana Warner’s creative world building had me lost in the fantasy. It’s not the destination, it’s the journey, and I thoroughly enjoyed traveling with Sigrid and her friends. The characters are fleshed out, growing and changing.
I couldn’t put it down long enough to take many notes. I was captivated with the vividly created world, fabulous characters and an adventure filled with surprise and danger. I love when I don’t always know where I am going, but enjoy the time it takes to get there.
I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of The Helheim Princess by Tiana Warner.

GOODREADS BLURB
A thrilling, intricate, and romantic #OwnVoices LGBTQ fantasy that builds on Norse mythology into a beautiful story all its own.
For
as long as Sigrid could remember, she’s wanted to become a mighty,
fearless valkyrie. But without a winged mare, she’s a mere stable hand,
left wondering who her parents were and why she’s so different. So when
the Eye shows her a vision where she’s leading a valkyrie charge on the
legendary eight-legged horse Sleipnir, she grabs the possibility of this
greater destiny with both hands, refusing to let go.
Too bad
that the only one who can help her get there is Mariam, an enemy
valkyrie who begrudgingly agrees to lead her to Helheim but who
certainly can’t be trusted―even if she does make Sigrid more than a
little flustered. As they cross the nine worlds, battling night elves,
riding sea serpents, and hurtling into fire to learn the truth about
Sigrid’s birthright, an unexpected but powerful bond forms.
As
her feelings for Mariam deepen into something fiery and undeniable, Fate
has other plans for Sigrid. What happens when the one thing you think
you were meant to do might end the nine worlds?
