Description
Embark on a time travel fantasy adventure in the Viking era full of action, romance, and Norse mythology in the Call of the Norns series.
By age 31, I always imagined my life would be settled — career, family, maybe even that white picket fence. Instead, my main man is a 120-pound mutt named Thor, and the highlights of my weekend are takeout and scrolling Instagram. Add a bottle of wine, and suddenly I’m drunkenly booking a trip to Sweden.
Do I know how to ride horses, or hike the backcountry, or speak Swedish? Absolutely not. But since when did a little logic stop me?
Too stubborn to admit my mistake, I land in Stockholm, expecting to see the Northern Lights, nurse sore muscles, and, heaven forbid, pee in the woods.
What I don’t expect is for my horse to kick me down a hill and somehow back through time, or that maybe all of this was set in motion by Fate centuries before.

Advance Praise
"I've been left in reader limbo since finishing this a few days ago. Aimee has a beautiful writing style, offering gorgeous detail in modern and not-so-modern settings. The wonderful blend of the 21st century with the magic and myth in Norse mythology was captivating and addictive." - Erin, Goodreads Reviewer
"I have read other books written by Aimee Vance and a co-writer, and I already knew her writing style suited me well. This book just solidified it for me. I became so absorbed in the book, feeling drawn to the setting, the people, the folklore. It was engaging and magical, and as with most time travel romance, I immediately want to travel abroad and find a way to fall back in time into the arms of my own hunky man of the past." - Meghan, Goodreads reviewer
"I. LOVE. THIS. BOOK. I absolutely devoured it. The MC Shelbie is so relatable and just…normal. Which I loved. And as a 30-something, can I just say how refreshing it is to read about 30-something’s also having epic fantasy adventures? Because even though we’re in our 30s, we can still have cool fantasy adventures and swoon worthy romances too." - Jourdan, @old.enough.for.fairytales
"Grumpy sunshine. One horse. Vikings. Cocky. Hot. Ugh this book. Magic. Dragons. I loved it so and cannot wait for the sequel. Domari is everything. And Magnus too. Seriously snag this one. I swooned hard and couldn’t put it down." - Candice, @candxdancexreads
"I ADORE this book. I've always had a love for Vikings, and this story embodies all the things I love about their culture. The author had clearly done her research in regard to locations, the mythology and the lore and has written this beautiful story that brings together all her knowledge." - Gemma L. Preston, author of The Faerie Guild Trials
"Fun, fast read that leaves you excited for the story to continue in book two. Relatable main character who recognizes she isn’t perfect but strives to grow and too many amazing supporting characters to list." - Alie, Goodreads reviewer
