Falled Gods

In the Fallen Gods duology, Rachel Van Dyken invites readers into a world where ancient legends are not mere whispers from the past—they are alive, powerful, and dangerously entwined with the present. Set against the hauntingly beautiful backdrop of Vonn, a remote Norwegian town steeped in myth and mystery, this series pulls you into a narrative that blurs the lines between reality and the divine.

At the heart of this atmospheric tale is Liv Olson, a curator who, after her brother’s mysterious disappearance, finds herself drawn to Vonn. As she uncovers the town’s secrets, she discovers a realm where Norse gods and legendary creatures roam, and the very fabric of reality seems to unravel with every step she takes. The gods are not just stories; they are real, and their ancient conflicts have deep roots in this world.

With a cast of characters as complex as the myths themselves, Liv must navigate a delicate web of trust, betrayal, and forbidden desires. Tristan, her enigmatic employer, holds a dark past—and the future of both humans and gods may rest on her ability to unravel it. But in a town where shadows speak, and the past never really stays dead, can anyone truly be trusted?

Falled Gods consists of one book and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
