Fjordensaga tells the story of five champions who have volunteered and then been deemed worthy to fight to the death in The Sonne. The winner will be crowned King of Fjorden.

A month before the Sonne, the country of Svaymark launches its attack on Fjorden and Sofia, reigning princess who leads Parliament, decided to move the Sonne up a month in an attempt to spare her father the King from meeting Swaymark in battle.

This is a fast paced fantasy with a romance subplot. Told from multiple POVs, the focus of the story is on Sofia and her skill in running the governmental side of the kingdom. 

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this! I loved getting to know all of the champions and even enjoyed the bit of a love triangle that developed between Sofia, Karsten, and Dag. The ending caught me by surprise (I was NOT expecting to cry so much reading this book!) but I love the way that the story was concluded.

I haven't seen anything from the author indicating whether this is the first in a series or a standalone. The story was wrapped up well enough that it could be a standalone, but I'm so invested in the characters that I hope it turns into a trilogy or duology!
