When a sword manifests in an old folk’s home it opens Autumn’s eyes to a whole world of magic, gods and giants. But before she has a chance to come to grips with her new reality, Autumn’s grandmother is attacked and put in the hospital. Autumn needs to discover what the deal is with the sword and how to protect herself and the people she loves.
And, of course, there’s also the matter of the wings that have sprouted from her back.
Can she learn about this new reality and the shadowy forces working within it in time to diffuse the situation before someone gets killed?
“The dogs are awesome.”
“For me, the five-star element was having Autumn being the storyteller. It is easy to relate to her. Autumn is your normal person, and has relationship problems, doesn’t always feel recognized for her talents, and at times will work for free to do what she loves. In other words, she deals with the same type of issues as most of us. Her humorous at time but not snarky attitude kept a good pace throughout.”
“A surprisingly emotional urban fantasy that features characters from Norse mythology.
I loved the protagonist, Autumn, and her two wolfhounds. Parrish has such a talent for writing characters who have known hardship, but are not defined by their suffering.
I loved the elements of Norse mythology and guessing who the characters really were.”
“It’s part urban fantasy, part mystery and has gods AND giants from Norse mythology, oh and toss in invisible wings sprouting. This lively blend kept me turning pages until I finished it. Autumn deals with shocking truths and magic swords but also worries about her gran and missing boyfriend and let’s not forget her two giant wolfhounds who are also wonderfully written characters. The pacing is fast with some breaths in between crises. I really enjoyed this and hope a second book is in the works 🙂 so we can follow along Autumn’s journey into becoming her own unique self.”
“This is not your usual urban fantasy fare. We meet Autumn, who is living a regular paycheque-to-paycheque life with her not-so-great boyfriend, two delightful dogs, and a grandmother who has recently moved to the Better Days old folks home.
When a sword materializes in her grandmother’s room, the underpinnings of Autumn’s life begin to knock loose, exposing a world, based on Norse mythology, living—and warring—just beneath the skin of the mundane world.
This is the beginning of a series, and I look forward to reading the next book!”
