ORIGINS:  A SPIRIT UNITED

Ebook
Paranormal Romance/Shifter

 

Vali makes a deal with Odin to rescind the curse he put on him and his family.  For three full moon nights they walk as men and for the rest of the month the wolf takes over.  Odin wants Vali to serve him and in return he will send Morna, the daughter of Freya to accompany one of Vali’s sons to a sorcerer who will give him a cure.  Morna is not too happy to be a guide for Vulf, who she meets first as a wolf.  When he becomes a man and they set off on their quest, he doesn’t really know what or why they are traveling.  But he is attracted and protective of her and when passion awakes it can become dangerous for both of them.  Will the sorcerer be able to help them?  And at what price?  Will Morna give up immortality for love? 

Oh this is a fabulous story that took hold of this reviewer, drew her into an adventure, held her and didn’t let go until the last word was read.  Ms. Shannon writes characters the reader can care for, a plot that twists and turns and captivating love scenes that sizzle and pop.  In this story, Vulf is mostly more wolf than man and Morna is a creature of the Gods.  They are a most unlikely couple, but love prevails.  Secondary characters give the story depth and at times a little humor.  This reviewer really liked Morna’s winged horse, Swift.  Ms. Shannon gives her readers value for money and a story that will stay with the reader.  Her stories are definitely keeper-shelf material  Ms. Shannon has a number of shapeshifter stories that this reviewer urges every die-hard fan to pick up, sit back and enjoy.
