Rare powers. Precious metals. A final showdown.
1886. Sixteen-year-old Sissel Hemstad discovers she is a Ransacker, possessing the supernatural ability to find and pull gold and other precious metals to her. Bestowed by the ancient Norse gods, this awesome yet dangerous gift catches the attention of a local mine owner and a handsome young man—who is secretly a Pinkerton spy reporting to Baron Fjelstad, the very man who seeks to control the Hemstads.
With betrayal lurking around every corner, Sissel must tread carefully. Harnessing her powers could bring great fortune . . . or cause the powerful Baron to come hunting her and her siblings down for once and for all. In this gripping companion novel to Emmy Laybourne's acclaimed historical fantasy Berserker, Sissel must navigate a treacherous landscape of greed, secrets, and danger to protect those she loves.
Customer Reviews
A whirlwind of an adventure! A must-read!!!
I loved the first book in the BERSERKER duology and RANSACKER certainly does not disappoint! This book is a whirlwind of an adventure filled with increasing intensity! The world-building is unreal and the evolution of these characters stunned me. I did not expect to connect with Sissel so deeply, but I'm so glad the author allowed us to get to know her better! A must-read for sure!
(Note: I received an early review copy from the publisher in exchange for my honest opinion.)
Satisfying end and good character development
I really enjoyed getting to see Sissel grow out of her whiny stage and seeing all the characters mature. I think the ending was really satisfying and enjoyed it! One weird thought while I was reading is that this series would work good as movies.
