Orkidedatter (Fire Eyes, #1)

by James Musgrave

Overview

"If Henry Miller (Tropic of Cancer) wrote fantasies, this is what he would have written. Shocking and alive with truth. Can't wait for the next episode." New Fantasy Reviews.

 

Vetted and sold through the American Library Association's auspices. "Magnificent folklore metaphor for the independent woman of today! Perfect mixture of urban fantasy and ribald art."

 

"Narratively, the story juxtaposes facets of Jungian psychology with elements of classic gothic horror. The resulting tapestry is a multi-layering of cognitive perspectives over an archetypal view of lust, love, and loss." Louise Blackwick, internationally bestselling author of the Vivian Amberville Fantasy Series.

 

Paranormal Medium and police psychotherapist, Lily Orkidedatter, fights the powers of Dr. Paul Balder, V, owner of Titan Energy, in this paranormal and erotic fantasy series set in Oslo, Norway. Lily and Dr. Balder, her nemesis, however, are rivals and part of a much deeper legend of Norse history and its gods and goddesses that must conclude in a final confrontation at the end of the world, or Ragnarök.

 

In this first volume of the series, Orkidedatter, Lily joins forces with her friend, teacher, and U. S. Navy vet, Dr. Martin Seagraves from San Diego. When Seagraves becomes part of the fight to destroy Valhalla Castle, the police and Interpol step in, as Vladimir Putin's Chechen soldiers are guarding Balder's castle, but the real confrontation, inside the castle, is between the supernatural powers of Dr. Balder and Lily, as Dr. Balder has caused Lily to make love with only Norse creatures and other legendary figures, and not humans, so she must first break this spell and find out where she gets her powers.
