"An ancient sword points the way to an ages-old conflict and eternal love."

Nika Graves was excited about the Viking exhibit at her museum. She wasn’t counting on the star artifact, the Rune Sword, being stolen by a vampire.

She certainly wasn’t counting on falling for the Swedish SOG agent who had been assigned to protect it.

Viking vampires? Ancient Norse gods? That’s more than Nika bargained for – but it’s what she got. Now on the run with Erik, a sexy vampire turned Special Forces operative, she’s up to her eyeballs in magic, danger and desire.

The Rune Sword holds the key to awakening a long-dead vampire king.

Can Nika and Erik keep him in his grave where he belongs?

    J. A. Cummings was born in Flint, Michigan and raised in a nearby town called Clio. Appropriately enough for someone growing up in a place named for the Muse of history, she developed a passion for reading and the past that continues to this day. Her love of poetry and storytelling quickly followed.

    She graduated with honors from Michigan State University with a B.A. in Spanish, History and Anthropology. She has also earned a post-baccalaureate degree in paralegal studies from Oakland Community College.

    Her life has been one of numerous false starts, unexpected endings and fascinating side trips that lasted far too long. All of that chaos has informed her writing and improved her understanding of what it means to be human, both the sorrow and the glory.

    She still resides in Michigan.

An exhibition of an ancient Viking artifact goes terribly wrong when the artifact is stolen. The young curator in charge of the exhibition was equally surprised to find that a lot of the Viking legendary tales were true and she was right in the middle of a fight between good and evil.
A truly fantastic read.!!!

“Nika, I have looked for you across a hundred lifetimes. I have walked through a thousand years just to see your face. We are bound together, soul to soul.”

Rune Sword is the first book in the Rune Series by Amelia Wilson. It is a Paranormal romance with vampires, Vikings, Norse mythology, Viking legends, history, an ancient war, good vs evil, action, adventure, betrayal, and more. This was a different take on vampire lore, and I thought it was original and intriguing.
Nika Graves is the assistant museum curator who is busy organising a new exhibit, on loan from Sweden. The artefacts are very rare and valuable, particularly the ancient sword with the runic details- so a security team have accompanied the exhibit to the United States. Nika has no idea that her life is about to change forever. As a world she never even knew existed is revealed, she learns that there is so much more to the sword, the artefacts, the security team, and the situation, than she could have ever imagined. She is drawn to the head of the security detail, like no one else ever before her. But danger has followed the sword and she is soon drawn into an ancient war- a battle of good vs evil- with the fate of humanity hanging in the balance. Why is the sword so important? Who wants it so badly and why? What part does Nika play in all this? Why is she so drawn to Erik? Will good prevail or will evil win out in the end?
The story is told from a duel point of view, has a great pace and a smooth flow. I really enjoyed the story, with wonderful world building, vividly descriptive scene setting, and interesting historical and mythological additions- this story really came to life. I do wish it was a little longer so we could have gotten even more depth, backstory, and development. The romance and chemistry was built really well, but as it was one of the ‘main’ ingredients to the storyline, I really felt the story didn’t explore this attraction/connection as well as I would have liked- and Erik was just a little ‘flat’ and could have done with more ‘development’.
I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series.

Thank you, Amelia Wilson.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Start to the Series!
Reviewed in Australia on 1 April 2018
Engaging storyline with great, realistic characters and lots of action that kept my interest from beginning to end. We first meet Nika and Erik, our main characters, in a museum where they are both interested in the rare artefact ‘The Rune Sword’. When the artefact is stolen, we follow their journey to retrieve it. I didn’t want to put this one down and I couldn’t wait to read the next book.
I purchased the box set of this series and decided to leave a review for the single books as well.

A great action read and is descriptive in its narrative. I enjoyed the story about the main characters but would have enjoyed a slower burn in the process.

This is a great read! I’ve read many books about the Danish gods, Vikings and vampires but this well written story is the best so far. Recommend this to everyone who likes different types of vampires and how the ancient gods and goddesses still survive. Enjoy!

Rune Sword by Amelia Wilson

3.75 Stars

The only real problem I had with this is it is YA.
I don't read YA.
I don't know how I ended up with a YA book on my shelf. I always check the various genres a book is in and read numerous reviews before I download it.
So, somewhere, somehow, I was lead to believe it was Adult.

I will NOT continue with this series.

All that aside, it was relatively well written. There are a few typos/editing errors.
The flow was pretty good until I ran into the 'Intimate Scene'. This is when I discovered it was YA. When a scene like that ends with them hugging then picks up with the deed done and NO details, yep, you got YA.

The basis of the storyline is centered around Old Norse Lore. It is interesting a different outlook on Vamps, etc.

There is quite a bit of action surrounding a sword that was dug up and placed in a museum.

So, if you like YA and paranormal/fantasy with plenty of action, you will like this series.

It just is not for me

The story is good , fast paced with well developed characters . However the background story provided was interspersed through out and at times it felt too much of it altogether . The romantic development between the two leads felt rushed despite them being soul mates. The book had a YA feel to it but reading the first chapter of the next one , things seemed to have changed ! Lol!
Altogether , I think it is promising and worth reading the next one as the story itself is refreshingly different in PNR genre .

A strong start to a new vampire series. I love how this has tied together Norse mythology with the vampire legends. These are two mythos that I don't often see linked and really enjoy how they work together. The connection between Nika and Erik is strong and undeniable. I look forward to seeing how their relationship progresses throughout the series.
