Time of Myths: Shapeshifter Sagas Series by Natasha Brown

Along the breathtaking and unforgiving coast of Snæland, Ásta’s ancestral farm is plagued with bad luck. The kinless maiden’s turf walls continue to be found damaged, and there aren’t enough farmhands to maintain the property.

The kinless maiden’s turf walls continue to be found damaged, and there aren’t enough farmhands to maintain the property. Claw marks in the dirt revive old memories of the wolf attack that left her scarred, and she begins to fear the whispers are true—that Fenrir, son of Loki and king of the wolves, has come to claim her and her land. Torin often leaves his uncle’s farm in the southern hills to track and ensnare valuable gyrfalcons. His secret ability to turn into the birds he trains means his falconry skills are unparalleled, earning him precious silver. If the ghosts of his past didn’t haunt him daily, pushing him to numb his senses with drink, Torin might have married by now—as his uncle often reminds him. But the time has finally come to find a wife and settle down. If they are to overcome their problems, they must do so together, or the scars from their past might destroy them both. **CONTENT WARNING: Due to mature content, recommended for readers aged 18+** less

It's Leif's eighth summer going viking with his father on their ship the Kraken--and he's had enough.

Leif hopes that time's drawing near so he can free himself from Ragna's domineering shadow... moreIt's Leif's eighth summer going viking with his father on their ship the Kraken--and he's had enough.

When he fails to return home, Kristie turns away from her list of chores to search the loch in an effort to ease her pregnant sister-in-law's fears. Instead of finding Domnall, she discovers a naked and battered man washed up on shore and worries he could be a thieving reiver or worse--an Englishman. When the handsome outsider wakes, he is unable to remember who he is or how he came to be there. Although the feisty and melancholy Kristie isn't keen on him remaining, her young neighbor, Jock, takes to the playful stranger and names Creag after the rocky crags where the loch meets the sea. Not long after the lad speaks of selkies, magical seals who shed their skins to live as humans, Creag dreams he is swimming deep beneath the waves. Kristie is desperate to keep the farm running for her missing brother while Creag's sleep is filled with strange visions--glimpses that may reveal secrets to his past, but he may soon wish they were only a dream. **CONTENT WARNING: Due to mature content, recommended for readers aged 18+** TIME OF MYTHS Shapeshifter Sagas European myths from the Middle Ages WIDOW {Black Shuck} SCARS {Fenrir} TIDES {Kraken} OUTSIDER {Selkie} less
