Booktok rec for girls who like their fantasy DARK

The show Vikings but make it dark fantasy with vampires and witches and into a book series with epic romance…

✨The Bl00drune saga✨

(book 1 AND 2 are out now!)

Reincarnation

Forbidden love

Touch her & ☠️

Possessive “my wife”

Trials and gods

Fated mates

A trilogy that feels like Ragnar - intense, chaotic, unpredictable, but fierce and emotional in the deconstruction of belief and power.
