Awaking alone in a strange hotel room, her memories of the last six weeks only vague images of places and people she has never seen and does not know, Lia longs for her old life. But that life is gone. As she learns who to fear and who to trust, Lia is forced to again flee Los Angeles and seek refuge with Freyr, Freyja and Will on the other side of the earth. There, the gods who have drawn Lia into the world of myth fight the undead and even part the sea in their resolve to protect Lia from family members who choose violence to keep the secret of their family’s existence. As Freyr and Freyja begin to see signs that Ragnarök approaches, Lia learns that she may be the key to the gods’ success — or failure — in that final battle, even as she struggles with the knowledge that Freyr’s love for her, like her life, can be only a moment in time for a man who has lived since time began.

Dr Ailia “Lia” Leng wakes up in a strange hotel with no idea why. She checks out and heads off to the hospital she works at, an emergency room doctor. When she gets there, everyone is amazed, some thought she was dead. She had, she discovered, that she had been missing for two months and no one knew where she was.
One of those who was happy to see here was Jonathan, a love interest who is very concerned about her and the disappearance. As she was working, she saw a stranger she thought she remembered, his voice was very familiar and it triggered a feeling that he was there to get her, and not friendly. She started to find a place to hide and spotted another familiar, but strange, face. This woman told her they had to leave and got her out into a car. She finds out it’s someone named Franny and her husband, Will, who had been with her while she was gone and that she was correct, the man in the hospital was out to kill her. They’re on the run again. They eventually meet up with Franco, who explains everything from before (and in book 1, Lost Long), and they have to fight off people who want Lia dead.
This is a continuation of Rochelle Wilcox’s series, The Road to Ragnarok. There are old Gods from the Vikings involved in a war between the two groups of families and Lia saw a fight between them. The other side, the one with Thor and Loki, want her dead to keep the secret of the Gods still existing, Franny, Will, and Franco are against killing humans who find out about their existence. Will, a human with some special powers was barely allowed to marry Franny but the family is determined that he will be the last, and only, human given that chance. Lia has to die.
I really do like this series. It’s an easy read. And, if you’re a fan of the Marvel universe, you already have images of some of the characters are. It’s an inventive premise with interesting characters and situations. I’m looking forward to the next book in the series.
