Description

“When Kristia discovers that her new boyfriend is the Norse god of winter, she’s plunged into a world beyond her wildest dreams… A breathtaking fantasy series brimming with romance, magic, and danger!” -Bookbub

Includes all three books in S.T. Bende’s internationally bestselling ELSKER SAGA, plus the bonus novella, TUR.

ELSKER:

Bookish Kristia is stunned to discover that her boyfriend, Ull Myhr, isn’t even human. He’s a Norse god, forbidden to love and destined to die in a battle that will destroy Earth. But these two just might break all the rules — and save the world while they’re at it…

ENDRE:

Winning the heart of an immortal assassin was a dream come true for Kristia Tostenson. But her decision to become immortal could end in heartbreak--not only for Kristia, but also for the god who loves her. While Ull would do anything to protect his bride, even the God of Winter is powerless against the Norse apocalypse. Ragnarok is coming . . . and the gods aren't even close to ready.

TRO:

As things heat up between Kristia and Ull, a frost settles over Asgard. Kristia's barely begun to understand what she's capable of, and controlling her powers seems completely out of her grasp. With her new family fighting for their lives, and Ull fighting for their future, Kristia has to make a devastating choice: preserve the life she loves, or protect the god she can't live without?

TUR:

Inga Andersson has it all—great friends, a job as Odin’s personal fight choreographer, and a happy ever after with her realm’s hottest assassin. But when evil invades Asgard, her world comes crashing down. With Ragnarok on the horizon, Inga has to decide how she’ll spend her final moments of freedom. Because once the battle begins, Inga’s perfekt life will be nothing more than a memory.

    To read this saga was to be carried off to my Father's family roots. Never have I, in all my sixty-eight years, had a more heartwarming adventure into something so much my own. Of course, one must also take into account that I am a total sap for a well-crafted love story but you'll keep that under your hat, won't you? Tak, Tak, Tak! Mr David S Paulson, PhD

    Wonderful set of books. Read the first book in "Gods & Mortals" compilation and had, had, HAD to get the whole set to read. Loved the characters, great, exciting story. A very clean read (no explicit sex), just a great love story. One of the best series I've read. I read about one book a day, so that's saying something!!! Thanks for a great read! 😍😘 (p.s. Loved the grandmas!)

    This is an amazing box set. I’ve really enjoyed reading all the books. Here are my reviews for each book. Tur – Prequel Novella - What a fun novella to read. I really enjoyed the exciting adventure of Gunner and Inga as they help defend Asgard. Gunner is definitely more fun and he is loyal, hot, and very supportive of his wife Inga. Inga is an amazing character. I love her can do attitude and her match making skills. It was really cool to see a glimpse of Ull’s heart before we see more of it in the Elsker Saga. Overall “Tur” by S.T. Bende is a fun, exciting prequel of the Elsker Saga. Elsker: Book One - This is one of the sweetest love stories of Norse mythology that I have read. I love the romance between the mortal Kristia and Ull the God of Winter. Kristia is an adorable girl from a small town in Oregon with a desire for an adventure so she signs up for a study aboard in Wales. Once there she meets Ull Myhr. Ull is a handsome God from Asgard. Even though he is a God and one of the finest warriors of Asgard, Ull is very lonely; which was very heartbreaking to read. Once he meets Kristia he will do everything he can to protect her – even if it’s from him and his destiny. This story shows a great development between Kristia and Ull’s relationship and her acceptance of who Ull is and what his destiny entails. I love the ever sassy Norn, Elsker, especially how she handles Thor. She is one of my favorite characters. “Elsker”, the first book of The Elsker Saga by S.T. Bende is an excellent story; can’t wait to find out what is in store for these two and their family and friends. Endre: Book Two – Wow, the second book of the Elsker Saga, “Endre” by S.T. Bende is amazing. I love reading how much Kristia is developing her visions and how much stronger she is becoming. She is starting to adapt to Ull’s world and is amazingly strong and brave while doing so. Her visions with the Elfie guy are getting more dangerous and terrifying. Every time she has one I’m biting my nails on what is going to happen. I love the growth of Ull’s and Kristia’s relationship and how Ull’s starting to be a little less overprotective. It’s sweet on how much he does want to protect Kristia but at the same time beginning to trust in her to hold her own. Gunnar of course is “funner” as usual. I love how much closer Kristia has become with Inga and Olaug. These lovely supporting ladies are such a joy to read. The wedding is magical and romantic. Endre has wonderful relationships and more character building on not just the main characters, Ull and Kristia, but of their supporting characters too. Definitely a wonderful continuation of the Elsker Saga. Tro: Book Three – Talk about battle action and nail biting. “Tro”, the final book of the Elsker Saga by S. T. Bende is full of action and romance. The first part of the book is so romantic with the honeymoon of Ull and Kristia. However not even a honeymoon can take away what is in the rest of the book – the battle of Ragnarok. With Kristia learning her new powers as the Goddess of Winter and immortal seer she still has a lot to learn before she is ready. The action of Ragnarok keeps you on your toes and the excitement is so captivating you will not want to put the book down. The ending for me was one of the most heartwarming endings I have read in a long time. When I finished this book I was smiling for days. Ull and Kristia has such a heartwarming story. I highly recommend this book and the entire Elsker Saga!

    What an amazingly different story, I cannot find the words to describe just how much I this book. Ull will always be my book boyfriend The story has just about everything I love in a romance novel. Ull & Kristia have some interesting things to overcom, after all dating the god of winter is kind of differant. I liked the way the story developed. this book really made the myth's come alive for me. Book 2 Endre, here I come. You often read a second book and walk away disappointed, that is NOT the case here. The second book is as good as the first if not better. Ull is an unbelievable man, I mean god. The God of Winter is romantic, sexy, sweet and protective. Kristia is sweet, brave and as protecitve of Ull and Asgard as they are of her. Surprises in the first book are expanded upon in the second. It is so hard for me not to give away some of this story, but i really think you should read it for your self. You too will want Ull for your forever book boyfriend and will fall in love with all the Norse Gods, even Odin. This series has captured my imagination and my heart. Give it a read, you will love it too. What am amazing book. Gods & Goddesses, Faithful friends & bitter enemies. Good vs Evil. I cannot get enough of this series. I would love to read more about some of the other characters we have met & Ardis needs her HEA what ever that might be. Five stars for this truly exciting book. It is so hard to not give away the story. Read it you won't be sorry

    Ull and Kristia are fantastic together. Both strong characters and very well written. Gunnar will grab your heart and you'll never want to let him go. I love the history into Norse mythology. Extremely well written and is going to forever be a favorite of mine.
