A magical story
This is a great book. The characters are realistic and carried a weight of presence as I read their thoughts, words and actions. The world has depth too. I haven't (yet) read the first two books, but that didn't matter, I was able to establish how everything fits together quickly. I may read them as prequels one day.
The way the book is written allowed me to understand what was happening across the storyline. And that includes the historical sections too.
Although I'm sad that I didn't read the two preceeding books, because I feel like I have missed out, at least I have read this one and can look forward to the next one.
I am pleased to recommend this book to others.
I am thankful to 47North, the author and Netgalley for allowing me to read this book for free.

Official description:
From Wall Street Journal bestselling author Jeff Wheeler comes the latest installment in the thrilling Invisible College series as the fate of the world hangs in the balance of two star-crossed lovers determined to unravel fate—even amid betrayals, a looming war, and twisted secrets of the past.
For now, the centuries-long war between mortalkind and the Aesir is quiet. Yet not over. With the coming of winter, a season in which the Aesir thrive, they will resurface. Only two people, united by magic, can stop them. But first they’ll have to survive more imminent threats to their lives.
Robinson Hawksley is of the tragic belief that his beloved wife, McKenna, has perished in a sorcerer’s fire—just as he is about to ascend to the highest rank in the magic order of the Invisible College. But as Robinson navigates political machinations, deception, and betrayal, not everything is as it seems. McKenna, a woman of uncanny mysteries, has been abducted as an offering to the Aesir that promises to end the invasion once and for all. Now she is running for her life.
To reunite, Robinson and McKenna have so much to learn about themselves and each other. Amid secrets, sacrifices, and long-dormant memories restored, they still hold the power to save the world.
