"Ragnarok is at hand... but will the prophecy signal her death?"

Fresh Fiction Review

Foretold
Rinda Elliott

Reviewed by Debbie Wiley
Posted May 15, 2014

Fantasy

When it starts to snow in Florida, it's obvious the end of the world is near. For Raven and her two sisters, the snow is the proof that the prophecy drilled into their heads is about to happen... which means one of them is about to die at the hand of a warrior. Raven has an old soul within her, one of the norns, and now she fears she has found the warrior of the prophecy... Vanir, a young man who also has knowledge of magic and the Norse myths. Will their romance survive when Ragnarok is at hand?

FORETOLD starts the reader smack dab in the middle of the storyline and then catches us up to date through a series of flashbacks. It's a bit confusing initially, particularly if one is unfamiliar with some of the Norse mythology that is referenced. As the storyline progresses, however, Rinda Elliott begins to show the reader just how the Norse mythology fits into her unique world. And let's face it, who can't help but be intrigued by a book that begins with heavy snow in Florida?

Readers who are interested in Ragnarok or other Norse myths will find Rinda Elliott's tale fascinating. She incorporates prophecy, the norns, and the end of the world into a very unusual world. FORETOLD is the first book in the Sisters of Fate series and I actually wish it had been a bit longer so we could further explore Ms. Elliott's world- especially the norns. I will be curious to see how she incorporates the prophecy with Raven's siblings into the next two books.

SUMMARY

It is written that three Sisters of Fate have the power to change the world's destiny. But only if they survive…

The Lockwood triplets have had the prophecy drummed into their heads since birth. Still, Raven, the eldest of the sisters, can't believe it's really happening. She's the reincarnation of a Norse goddess? One of the sisters is destined to die? When it starts snowing in summer in Florida, the sisters fear the worst has come to pass. Ragnarok, the Norse end of the world, has begun.

Raven finds herself the secret protector of Vanir, a boy with two wolves, a knowledge of Norse magic and a sense of destiny he can't quite explain. He's intense, sexy and equally determined to save her when it becomes clear someone is endangering them. Raven doesn't know if getting closer to him will make a difference in the coming battle, but her heart isn't giving her a choice.

Ahead of the sisters is the possibility of death at the hand of a warrior, death by snow, death by water or death by fire.

Or even from something else…

Sisters of Fate

The prophecy doesn't lie: one is doomed to die.
