Dawn of the North
ByPublisher Description
A new age begins in the Kingdom of Íseldur in this sizzling third installment of the Viking-inspired Ashen romantasy the series.
The lost Volsik heir has finally returned to the people of Íseldur, and even with the warrior who’s captured her heart standing by her side, Silla’s task is monumental. She must earn the loyalty of the northern jarls to drive Ivar Ironheart from the throne and restore peace in the kingdom. But the secret she vigilantly guards threatens to ruin all her plans: A shard of a god lives in her mind, twisting her thoughts and deeds to His will.
Meanwhile, held captive on the mysterious isle of Zagadka, Saga Volsik fights to return to her sister in Íseldur. But when King Ivar sets his sights on the Zagadkians, she’s forced to make an impossible choice: fight for the man who stole her—and is now hell-bent on marrying her—or let the innocent people of his kingdom die.
As a poisonous mist threatens the realm, the sisters will delve into the unknowns of their magic to battle against evil. Return to the land of ice and fire, where a god awakens, a queen finds her power, and sisters must unite against the darkness threatening their realm.

4.5
“The third book in The Ashen Series is the best one yet. I loved every second of this page turner. Demi Winters has done an amazing job with this series. In book 3, some of my favorite things were the journey into each of the three separate story lines throughout the book. The ending had me staying up well past what was sensible because I just had to know. I’m a big fan and I’m looking forward to book 4! Thanks so much to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity for an ARC.”
“I have to say I'm very disappointed.
Dawn of The North seems to be a filler book in the series and lacked adventure and romance that made the first two books in the series so great. There were so many different characters perspectives that were unnecessary and didn't do much to push the plot along. I was so excited to receive an arc of this book since it was my most anticipated release of the year. I'm truly disappointed and I'm unsure if I'II continue with the series.
thank you NetGalley and the publishers for providing me with a arc in exchange for an honest review.”
“ARC Review: Thank you NetGalley and Bellatine for an early read of Dawn of the North. The beginning of this book was slow and wasn’t sure how to feel about all the POV changes. I felt some parts of the book dragged and I was waiting for something to happen which caused me a little longer to finish this book compared to Kingdom of Claw which I devoured. I am curious to see where the story goes as there are some plot holes that need some tying up.”
“Demi Winters has done it again with this third five star read. The characters and their relationships remain fresh and intriguing with a story line that you want to keep reading. The characters have become my friends and I never want the series to end!”
