Overview

In a world where myth and modernity collide, two souls are bound by destiny and divided by time. From the frostbitten battlefields of ancient Senmar to the streets of Seraphim City, a hidden war rages-one waged not with armies, but with memory, faith, and power older than civilization itself. When a quiet act of compassion sets off ripples across centuries, long-sleeping forces begin to awaken. A forgotten legend stirs. A goddess remembers her name. And a darkness that feeds on human suffering rises once more. Andarta weaves mythic fantasy, historical intrigue, and haunting realism into a tale of courage, sisterhood, and the unyielding light of hope. It is both a gripping adventure and a mirror to our world-where the fight for freedom, truth, and redemption has never been more urgent. Step beyond the veil. The battle for humanity's soul has already begun.

Overall, the character evolution, plot development, and character interactions are perfectly executed throughout this mesmerizing tale."" Richard Prause for Readers' Favorite ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️(Andarta) ""...plunges readers into a vividly imagined world where ancient dieties, Vikings, and modern struggles collide...It's a tale of bravery, resilience, and divine intervention set against both historical and fantastical backdrops...engaging and immersive...The blend of Norse mythology with human struggles is both unique and evocative, drawing me in immediately...glowing runes, ancient trees, and the mysterious dragon...is nothing short of cinematic."" Literary Titan ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️""...not just a classic mythology retelling, it also discusses some heavy real-word topics... in a sensitive but enlightening way, while maintaining the magical fantasy aspect of the story. I loved this book. It was fast-paced, emotional, and complex, as well as magical and thrilling. It was exactly what I expected while also being nothing like what I expected...The writing is brilliant and immersive. I was hooked right from the prologue to the last chapter. There was never a drop in the story's pace, even through all of the introduction, backstory, and world-building...a must-read!"" bookishrebel01 for BookInfluencers (South Africa)""The magic, the mythology, and the modern-day setting blend so well, and the sibling dynamic? It's so raw and relatable! What made the story stand out for me is how it weaves in a very real-world issue: human trafficking. The way it touches on the topic is subtle but so powerful. I love that the authors even set up a hotline connected to the Human Trafficking Hotline. If you love stories that grab your imagination, while leaving you with something to think about, this is an absolute must read!"" onemorechap on Instagram""Andarta is a fantastic start to this fantasy series. It began with multiple different storylines that seemed very different from each other. However, they all came together in an unconventional way."" Jill Jemmett for BookInfluencers (Canada) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
