Jael Furyck doesn’t want a husband.

Daughter of the King of Brekka, trained as a warrior since she was ten-years-old, her plans have never involved marriage and motherhood. But when her father dies, her uncle steals the throne, and desperate to rid himself of the threat she poses, he arranges to marry his troublesome niece to the son of Brekka’s arch enemy…

Eadmund Skalleson doesn’t want another wife.

He had a wife, who died, and broken-hearted, he sank into an ale pit of despair, far removed from the renowned warrior he once was. Now, he is an embarrassment to his father, the King of the Slave Islands, who has finally run out of patience. The king has no love for the Brekkans, but an alliance with them, sealed with a marriage, has the potential to make him a wealthy man indeed.

And as the rival kings scheme, planning the wedding and plotting to overthrow their neighbours, an ancient darkness emerges from the shadows – an echo of the past – threatening to destroy Jael, Eadmund, and everyone they love.

Winter’s Fury is the first book in The Furyck Saga: a gripping epic fantasy series set in a world of warring kingdoms, mysterious dreamers, and dark magic, where an ancient prophecy weaves a terrifying fate for them all...

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 'If you like reading sagas like GoT or the Wheel of Time where there are a lot characters and lots of plots going on to keep track of then you will love Rayne's writing.'

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 'I tried over a dozen books which I quit in frustration before I found this riveting, Norse tale with magical dreamers and men and women warriors fighting for their lives and each other. Very hard to put down once you start!'

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 'She writes a battle that is a match for Cornwell's work with a complexity that is the equal to A Game of Thrones.'

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 'Her characters become real & you quickly find yourself immersed in the wild history of vikings, raiders, warriors & shield maidens.'

Every minute of this novel was good. I love the characters especially Jael because she is full of determination and strength. I love how Jael does as she wishes. For the romance aspect, I would like there to be more of it… I’m not feeling this connection between Jael and Edamond.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book, but brace yourself for the millions of POVs
Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2022

I really enjoyed this book and the story line. The characters were well developed and grew to be more throughout the story. The writer has created a rich vision of the world in the Furyck seriers and gave a little Game of Thrones feel with the ominous feeling that winter, or more battle are coming. I would actually give this series a 4.5. Why not a 5? While the multiple POVs allowed the reader to feel more connected with characters it also created a lot of switching. The POVs changed frequently not just chapter by chapter but rather multiple times in the chapter. A part of me thinks it helped keep the story moving along rather than dragging but at the same token, I had to as a reader shift quickly with the story. All and all a good read and I will continue on with the series. I do worry that the series could drag and I hope the writer has found a way to conquer that from happening with her unique writing style and story line.

I just love this series. The first book is actually quite eventful and quick paced but it doesn't compare to all that happens in the series. I've read some criticism of this series but I don't agree at all. I think it's well written in an easy but engaging way. I was never bored and the author tends to keep every chapter a page turner as she flits from one group of characters to the next, leaving you wanting to know what happens next every time. I found the characters very endearing and I believe the series gets better and better. I love this series and the other series that takes place in the same world with new characters, one continent away, The Lords of Alekka. Recommend highly. Great for YAs and adults alike.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hooked!
Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2019

I am definitely enjoying this series. I am now on the third book and pretty hooked.

First, I will say what I like..
-The background of this story is a fictional world of people that I would say are something of a mix between Vikings and maybe Scotsman? They're war-hardened, living in a rough and harsh reality. So if that is your thing, you will like this book. It is believable, almost feels like an actual time in history of a land we don't know about.
-The dialogue is good, really good. I read some reviews that say the story is too slow-paced, but for me I found it enjoyable because the dialogue is good and real. There is no cringe-worthy conversations (my pet peeve) that you would never hear in real life. Also, I think the pace is definitely suitable because throughout the book (and the series), you're introduced to A LOT of characters and it takes time to get them know, but you are able to get to know them all and it's worth it. So much more to think about rather than just the MCs.
-The POV switches around constantly. But to me it isn't jarring, rather I feel like a fly on the wall who can read everyone's mind. And the stories move in a way that's almost cinematic, switching from "scene" to "scene".
-Lastly, plot is good, story is good, characters are relatable, likable, emotional..

Some other things...
- There is a lot of angst in these books... so once you start it, you really want to get through the book, but it also moves rather slowly
-This book is not stand alone.. the story continues in the sequels, so just be prepared to read more books to get the conclusion of the story.
- ***Note: there is sex and language in these books. I'm a reader that really dislikes unnecessary sex and profanity, but I will say the sex is not graphic or descriptive, and most often is not the focal point, rather is developmental to the story. There is quite a lot of profanity, including the F, S, B, C word, to mention a few, but because the book is mainly about war-hardened soldiers in war.. so it seems rather appropriate to me. There is also crude sexual language. Point being, in my opinion it is appropriate to the story, but probably not suitable for your small kid.

I’m not sure I can review this without spoilers.

I wanted to like it. The idea is good, but some of it just unbelievable. A strong, warrior falls for a sloppy drunkard without any real, substantial interaction between them.

Then, even if only briefly, being fooled by someone who told her what she wants to hear, even though she already knows he’s a horrible, cruel person. Never mind that he plans to kill his siblings.

After I was about 65% of the way through it felt rushed, like someone needed to meet an editor’s deadline.

Characters aren’t well developed. Normally, I’d be down for the whole series, but unless the writing gets better it’s just not worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars I’m seriously glad I found this book!
Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2022

This is a fantasy adventure that has romance, some humour and a good dose of mythology and battles, in other words it is a whole lot of fun wrapped in a good, long book. If you like books with complex worlds and different story lines being explored at the same time (all important and equally entertaining) I would say these novels in the Furyck saga are a very good choice. The quality of writing is above average as is the plot and this author’s creativity is immense, giving all the characters and specially the main ones like Jael a wealth of realism and depth that helps us readers love and root for or despise accordingly. Even the villains behaviour and desires have a logic to them you can easily understand. I absolutely recommend this title, give it a chance.

A very readable book with likable characters and a fascinating growing world.
I read this in three days, compelled by the growth of each character and the building story which evidently will continue through the series.
The pace maintained strong throughout despite cutting back and forth between different characters, the plotline remained interesting enough to keep me reading through.
A good start, I look forward to the rest.

Well this book had a lot to offer. And most of it came from the different POVs. It was quite interesting to know what was happening all over the world. I loved the fact that there weren't any characters who kept speaking for ages and pages. The book is not short. It is however not boring either. It's interesting and you want to know what happens.

I loved the chemistry between eadmund and Jael, Jael and thorgils, and the interactions between Jael and ivaar.

Nuff said. Onto the next one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good - very Vikingesque
Reviewed in Australia on October 24, 2023

Very good book, especially if you like tales of Vikings, as this is set in a world & era very reminiscent of Viking lore. At first glance it’s kind of like a fairytale, with a woman forced into marriage for the realm by an evil uncle who has become king. But this is no shy retiring princess waiting for a prince to save her, this is a strong warrior woman who slays evil brutal giants (or big blokes who happen to be really nasty fellas) & rescues her prince from being an alcoholic mess. And the Viking style village in the grip of winter, with a community of warriors planning an invasion for the Spring is an interesting if harsh setting. Looking forward to the next book
