Shieldmaiden Squadron by S.T. Bende Pdf

Eighteen-year-old Ingrid Tirsdatter is a shieldmaiden—a Viking warrior tasked with protecting her clan while upholding their virtues of honor, valor, and total domination. She’s one-hundred-percent focused on climbing the shieldmaiden ranks, and not at all focused on Axel Andersson—the overly confident and unnaturally good-looking warrior who saved her life exactly one time . . . and hasn’t let her forget it. When an unparalleled enemy threatens Ingrid’s clan, she vows to do everything in her power to protect her home. But saving Valkyris will require her to travel one thousand years into the future, join an elite Southern California sorority, capture a magic-wielding psychopath . . . and not fall for the one warrior in all the realms who could be her undoing. Ingrid’s new assignment is a nightmare in the making, but she’s determined to do her clan proud. After all, she’s a shieldmaiden. And shieldmaidens never back down. This is a full length, young adult fantasy for readers who love action, adventure, subterfuge and romance.

Shieldmaiden Ingrid Tirsdatter is in the final leg of her very first mission. After chasing a dark mage one thousand years into the future, she and her team have spent the past two months trying to stop him from doing the unthinkable—enacting a magical spell that’s certain to destroy their world. But when a collection of crystals goes missing, it’s clear their enemy is making his final play. And when Axel starts acting peculiar, Ingrid realizes that more than just their home is on the line. If she and her team can’t stop the dark mage, her past—and her future—may disappear forever.

Sorority Subterfuge by S.T. Bende Pdf

Ingrid Tirsdatter is no stranger to difficult missions. As a first-year shieldmaiden, she’s fought off Viking warriors, defeated the not-quite-dead, and ridden into battle atop a fire-breathing dragon. But nothing in her training prepared her for her current assignment. In order to stop a madman from destroying her home, Ingrid’s jumped one thousand years into the future, moved into an elite Southern California sorority, and done everything in her power to not get distracted by Axel Andersson—her absurdly attractive, and extraordinarily egotistical, battle partner. So far, she’s managed to keep her mission reasonably on track. But when a mysterious stranger shows up with an offer to lead Ingrid to her target, her well-orchestrated plan begins to unravel. It turns out that Ingrid isn’t the only one engaged in subterfuge. If she fails to hunt down the elements that have set her enemy on his dark path, there’s no telling what will become of the future . . . or the past. Ingrid and her team are in a race against time. And if they can’t outrun their target, both of the worlds she’s come to love will be nothing more than a memory.

Perfekt Control by S.T. Bende Pdf

"Like a summer superhero movie, this YA fantasy features dazzling adventure and a truly epic romance." -iBooks Official Review, The Ære Saga: Book 1 Rule the realms. Brynn Aksel is a valkyrie—a battle goddess tasked with protecting both the God of War and the future of Asgard. She fends off giants and dark elves with an iron fist, a glossy smile, and no less than perfekt control. She’s focused one-hundred-percent on rising through the valkyrie ranks, and not at all on her lifelong crush on Henrik Andersson—the one guy in all the realms who could be her undoing. Henrik serves as War’s other bodyguard, and he’s too focused on protecting their shared charge to realize that Brynn’s a girl. When an unprecedented surge of darkness abducts the Goddess of Love, Brynn’s already-steely focus is singularly directed on her new assignment—accompany Henrik to recover the realms’ source of light before the cosmos descends into chaos. While battling demons, dragons, and the not-quite-dead, it becomes clear that immortality does not equal invincibility. And when Hel herself puts a hit on Brynn, the valkyrie has to decide if staying in control is worth losing everything . . . or if it’s time to rule the realms.

The Last Shieldmaiden by Graham John Kelly Pdf

Epic Dark Fantasy. Wizard & Witches. Warlocks. Invasion & War & Romance. Undead Soldiers. Dark Mages. Daemons and underworld creatures. All-Out-Gruesome War and Explicit Deaths. Four elite celibate shieldmaidens and a young twenty-year-old mere ship-trader are ordered upon a dire quest for the sake of many. As an advantage to the small three hundred strong shieldmaiden order; they are sought with only fair looks and above-average height. And have spelt eyes as bright as light. All used as weapons during battle. The ship trader is under their passive spell, but feels far too out of their league, though they do flirt, especially with him only being twenty years old. The shieldmaidens have to remain celibate to consume their firewater and go raging Berserker to take on countless enemies. This is Epic Fantasy. Read Terry Goodkind, he writes far darker. As Terry Pratchett wrote far lighter.

Epic Fantasy. Wizards. Witches. Warriors. Warlocks. Invasion. War. Romance. Vampires. Undead Soldiers with retained tactics. Dark Mages. Demons and underworld creatures. All-Out-Gruesome War and Explicit Deaths are a backdrop to a coming of age journey with unrequited love, and romantic liaisons; elegant in its approach. A Fast read! Four elite celibate shieldmaidens and a young twenty-year-old ship trader are ordered upon a dire quest for the sake of many. Along this quest will be heartbreak, growth for good or bad. And a unique storyline. As an advantage to the three hundred strong shieldmaiden order, they are sought with fair looks and above-average height. And have spelt eyes as bright as light. Paperbacks split because at near 300.000 words, along with Amazon's high-quality thick paper, the books are heavy. Thus the series was required and requested (for paperbacks only!) The E-book is the full 800 pages of book one in this saga (Only paperbacks needed to be split to varying degrees. My reviews and emails have asked for more war, so more blood and guts are in the making! ( It was bugging me too, though I stumbled upon a way for 10-20 pages to extend the final battle scenes. The next book, eBook 2, is bubbling away. Forgive me, I have dyslexia, my grammar is improving, my vocabulary too. This is my first ever book. Passion for the craft has ignited in me, even the re-writes I enjoy. I am writing a comedy right now, in hope of some laughter at such times. Yet the maidens are becoming restless!

Perfekt Order by S.T. Bende Pdf

"Like a summer superhero movie, this YA fantasy features dazzling adventure and a truly epic romance." -iBooks Official Review All's fair when you're in love with War. For Mia Ahlström, a world ruled by order is the only world she allows. A lifetime of chore charts, to-do lists and study schedules have helped earn her a spot at Redwood State University’s engineering program. And while her five year plan includes finding her very own happily-evah-aftah, years at an all-girls boarding school left her feeling woefully unprepared for keg parties and co-ed extracurricular activities. So nothing surprises her more than catching the eye of Tyr Fredriksen at her first college party. The imposing Swede is arrogantly charming, stubbornly overprotective, and runs hot-and-cold in ways that defy reason . . . until Mia learns that she’s fallen for the Norse God of War; an immortal battle deity hiding on Midgard (Earth) to protect a valuable Asgardian treasure from a feral enemy. With a price on his head, Tyr brings more than a little excitement to Mia’s rigidly controlled life. Choosing Tyr may be the biggest distraction—or the greatest adventure—she’s ever had.

Goshawk Squadron by Derek Robinson Pdf

Known for his black humor and expertise in military aviation, Derek Robinson is best renowned for his novels on the Royal Flying Corps. The Goshawk Squadron was shortlisted for the Booker Prize. World War One pilots were the knights of the sky, and the press and public idolised them as gallant young heroes. At just twenty-three, Major Stanley Woolley is the old man and commanding officer of Goshawk Squadron. He abhors any notion of chivalry in the clouds and is determined to obliterate the decent, gentlemanly outlook of his young, public school-educated pilots--for their own good. But as the war goes on he is forced to thrown greener and greener pilots into the meat grinder. Goshawk Squadron finds its gallows humor and black camaraderie no defense against a Spandau bullet to the back of the head.
