The Book Was Better Club: Yarde Book Promotions "Blog Tour" 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!

Review

If you’re looking for a romance that feels intense, fated, and emotionally charged rather than gentle or meandering, Wolf of the Nordic Seas delivers exactly that. This is a love story born under pressure, shaped by prophecy, danger, and an attraction that refuses to be ignored.

From the moment Njörd and Elfi meet, there’s a sense that something irreversible has begun. Their connection isn’t tentative or polite; it’s immediate, magnetic, and complicated by the fact that both are carrying heavy responsibilities of their own. Njörd’s strength and authority are matched by Elfi’s defiance and determination, and neither is inclined to yield easily. That tension gives their relationship a sharp edge, making every interaction feel charged.

What I enjoyed most is that the romance never exists in a vacuum. Desire here is tangled up with trust, survival, and the looming presence of fate. The gods may have plans, but the emotional pull between these two characters feels raw and human, full of hesitation, want, and moments where giving in feels just as risky as holding back. Their intimacy isn’t decorative; it raises the stakes and deepens the consequences of every choice they make.

Elfi’s refusal to be diminished or controlled adds real weight to the love story. She isn’t swept along by romance—she meets it head-on, demanding partnership rather than protection. Njörd’s willingness to stand beside her rather than over her makes their bond feel earned, not ordained, even with destiny pressing in from all sides.

By the time the story reaches its later chapters, the romance feels inseparable from the wider conflict. Love becomes both a vulnerability and a source of strength, something worth fighting for even when the cost is high. It’s passionate, intense, and threaded through with the sense that this connection could either save them or undo them.

Wolf of the Nordic Seas offers a romance that burns hot against a mythic backdrop, unafraid of desire, danger, or destiny. For readers who enjoy fantasy romance where attraction is powerful, inconvenient, and absolutely central to the story, this is a deeply satisfying read.
