I went to Røros for a wedding—not to fall for a man
who looked at me like he had already mourned me once.
From the first moment Rurik touched me, something beneath my skin burned. Every kiss felt inevitable. Every glance pressed at the edge of memory. He says I’ve lived before, that I’ve died before, that he has loved me through it all. I don’t remember him—but the mountain does.
The tunnels beneath Røros hum when I pass. Runes flare in the stone. The deeper I fall into his arms, the more something inside me begins to awaken—hot, wild, and impossible to ignore. I was never meant to survive what should have killed me. Now something ancient is stirring, and I can’t shake the feeling that it’s because I did.
I have buried Cristabel in every lifetime—though she has worn different names.
Across centuries, I have found her and lost her to the curse my bloodline was sworn to guard. She was never meant to live this time—but she did. Now the fire in her veins is awakening too soon. The balance beneath the mountain is shifting, and the oath I have carried for generations is beginning to fracture.
I waited lifetimes to hold her again. This time, I will not let her go—even if saving her means unleashing what should have remained buried.
A steamy Nordic fantasy romance of reincarnation, fate, and fire.
Triggers: Female cancer survivor. Steamy open-door scenes.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I honestly ended up loving Firevein: The Awakening. I picked it up because the premise sounded good, but I got hooked really quickly. The atmosphere of the book is so good — cold landscapes, magic, tension everywhere — and it really pulled me into the story from the beginning.
Cristabel and Rurik were what kept me completely invested though. Their chemistry is intense right from the start and every interaction between them had me wanting more. I loved that their relationship felt complicated and emotional rather than perfect. There’s a lot of tension, frustration, attraction, and confusion between them, which made it feel much more real and addictive to read. Rurik especially is exactly the kind of character I always end up attached to in fantasy romance books.
I also liked that the fantasy side of the story still felt important. There’s mystery running through the whole book, and I enjoyed slowly piecing things together alongside the characters. It never felt like the romance completely overshadowed everything else.
This was one of those books where I kept telling myself I’d stop after one more chapter and then suddenly it was really late and I was still reading. The ending definitely left me wanting the next book straight away.

I began my writing career in the pre-dawn of a winter morning while my husband snored like a train. We could call my husband the catalyst. If it weren’t for him, I would never have gone to the kitchen to make a pot of coffee, feed the cat, and sit on the loveseat in front of the fire. It was there, in those moments of wondrous quiet, that I did something I had never thought possible. I opened my laptop, and while the coffee went cold, I wrote a story. My husband had no idea that these sojourns to the loveseat in front of the fire would become a daily occurrence, that writing would become an obsession, but the cat knew. She knows everything.
I write stories that make you laugh, make you cry, and make you love. Thank you, friends, for reading!
