Rule the realms.
Brynn Aksel is a valkyrie—a battle goddess tasked with protecting both the God of War and the future of Asgard. She fends off giants and dark elves with an iron fist, a glossy smile, and no less than perfekt control. She’s focused one-hundred-percent on rising through the valkyrie ranks, and not at all on her lifelong crush on Henrik Andersson—the one guy in all the realms who could be her undoing.
Henrik serves as War’s other bodyguard, and he’s too focused on protecting their shared charge to realize that Brynn’s a girl. When an unprecedented surge of darkness abducts the Goddess of Love, Brynn’s already-steely focus is singularly directed on her new assignment—accompany Henrik to recover the realms’ source of light before the cosmos descends into chaos.
While battling demons, dragons, and the not-quite-dead, it becomes clear that immortality does not equal invincibility. And when Hel herself puts a hit on Brynn, the valkyrie has to decide if staying in control is worth losing everything . . . or if it’s time to rule the realms.

Love ❤️
Love all of the Ære and Elsker series, but Bryn and Henrik are just my favourites! It must be the scientist in me!
Some of the best YA books about (I much prefer light hearted romance and end of days crises to the adult fiction!) Can’t wait for perfekt match to be released!
An emotional rollercoaster ride of perfektion!!
In this second instalment of S.t. Bende's fabulous Aere Saga, we discover that that age old adage "No rest for the Asgardians" definitely rings true. This time round, the tale unfolds through the viewpoint of Brynn Aksel - resident technical Goddess and vivacious Valkyrie.
Following straight on from the dramatic ending of Book 1: Perfekt Order, our favourite Norse Crew are ready for some down-time celebrating Mia's eighteenth birthday. However, the forces of darkness have other plans, launching a savage attack that ends with the abduction of Freya, Goddess of Love (and Brynn's boss). Tyr, God of War wastes no time mobilizing his troops, sending Brynn and Henrik off to gather intel and Alva dust before launching an all out assault to rescue Freya before Love disappears from the realms forever, leaving darkness to rule.. The mission is Brynn's top priority, but her perfekt control instilled in her by her Valkyrie training is sorely tested at every turn - temptation stares her in the face in the form of Henrik, her "TechGod" counterpart and long-time object of her unrequited and secret adoration - Valkyries are not allowed to date until they make captain rank and Freya only knows how long that will take to happen...and Brynn's not even sure Henrik is even interested in her. Add in Henrik's ex girlfriend and acute bifrost sickness every time they have to jump realms, Brynn's really not having a great day..... and it's gonna get a Hel of a lot worse before it's over.
S.t. Bende's imagination knows no bounds, and we are caught up in the action right from the get-go. As time passes and the different realms begin to be affected by the absence of love, S.t. creates a real sense of urgency as the worries, fears and doubts of the main characters emerge, masterfully weaving her spell around the reader as we empathise with our heroes, cheer loudly when the bad guys get what's coming to them and lose ourselves in the brilliance of her descriptions of the various realms the team visits in their search for Freya.
Perfekt Control has everything you could wish for and way more besides - fast paced action, edge of seat suspense, well choreographed fight scenes, true love, loyal heroes you love and villains you love to hate, a few heart-stopping moments and even a few happy tears. S.t. Bende continually delivers, and as much as I love her other books, Perfekt Control is definitely the best yet... Don't miss this series. It's a winner :)
