The Warrior and Her Divine: A Tale from The Halls of Valhalla by Gabriella Dennany

From the world of The Halls of Valhalla, this standalone fantasy puts you in the middle of the Dwarven realm...and a life-threatening heist. "Once, there was a farmer girl who plowed the fields and waited for her father's return. She is forced to live amongst the stars, and soon forgets that she isn't one." Traveling alongside gods and goddesses of ancient Nordic myth, Astrid the Asgardian is a simple mortal. Her humble background is steeped in war and betrayal, her homeland ripped away from her by the very gods she worships.
