Five possessive gods and the end of mankind. That’s my fate.
I always thought the end of the world was a myth. But then, I also thought Norse gods were make believe too.
They’re not.
Five of them are coming for me. They claim I will only survive if I surrender to them, body and soul.
But they don’t realize it’s about so much more than carnal servitude. I am so much more than they could ever … am so much more than they could ever suspect. So much more than even I knew.
I am the only one who can stop Ragnarök from covering the world in ice and darkness. The only one who can save gods and men alike from annihilation.
And in the shadows lurks betrayal so deep it will change the fate of the world…
For fans of Marata Eros’ The Druid series and Patricia Brigg’s Alpha and Omega series comes a sexy Reverse Harem take on Norse mythology. Omegaverse at its best!
This Paranormal Romance series is filled to the brim with wicked alphas, magic and fated mates. Try if you dare…

This book features Omegaverse with Norse Mythology. Such an interesting combination, isn’t it? While it’s the usual Omegaverse but this story lacked proper story description and had annoying characters. There are gods and demi-gods – the legimate and illegimate sons of Loki and Thor.
Annabel, who recently discovered she is an Omega is thrust among 5 Alpha mates (Saga, Bjarni, Grim, Magni and Modi; sons of Loki and Thor). And it’s not easy, sons of Loki and Thor don’t get along. This gangbang is prophesied to save the world from the approaching Ragnarök. Annabel is mated/raped Saga and Magni which was totally unromantic. I wanted to stop reading here but I went on. The Alphas are slow to defend their mate and she inturn is slow to defend herself when she was accused of purposely sleeping with the son of the enemy. The Alphas are possessive and controlling but what they lacked was being a hero. There was no bonding with Annabel and the two Alphas she mated, whatever soft feelings they have for each other are totally on force of mating, hence I lost interest in the characters. And I’ve no idea what went through their journey to Asgard, I kind of skimmed most of the part.
By the end of the book I thought I won’t read the next book but that cliffhanger at the end got me. The next book might have the appearances of Loki and Thor themselves.
Maybe I shouldn’t judge the book already because there are two more books for this story to flourish. This is a reverse-harem Omegaverse. If you are not aware of the Norse Mythology this story might be a little difficult to understand since the Norse characters/places are involved here but I think it’s adjustable and can be read easily.
Five goes are coming for her and they expect her to give in totally but they do not know her. She is something more and she is not just going to let them take control. She is the only one who can save everyone including the gods. How is she going to do it? Can she save them all? See if she can

DARK, FILTHY YET FUN
I was surprised that there’s a little bit of a playful aspect to the story. It’s still dark and dirty but there are some lighter moments and some funny exchanges between Anabel and her mates that keep the story really fun to read. Her mates mean business but they still joke around or tease each other, but these moments of levity don’t take away the overall feel to the story.
If you’re unfamiliar with this author, you should really read the preface to see if this is the kind of book you’d like to read. It explains what an Omegaverse is and lists some of the other themes that might not be for everyone.
Nora Ash has created an amazing world in her series start for The Omega Prophecy series. Ragnarok Rising is a great blend of Norse mythology and the Alpha/Omega world. With the popularity of the Thor and Avenger Movies, Norse mythology and Ragnarok are now a part of popular culture. Ash takes it to the next level in Ragnarok Rising.
Annabel believes she’s a Beta in the Alpha/Omega world. She’s been free to live her life, which includes pursuing her passion for history. When she finally gives into her parents to family friends, she’s determined to make the most of it by researching Norse mythology for her thesis. What she couldn’t have planned for was staying with 3 Alphas, which finally trigger her first Omega heat.
But these are not just your average Alphas. They’re Norse demi gods, determined to unlock a prophecy to save their family lines from Ragnarok. As the end of the world starts, things get even more complicated.
As the sons of Thor and Loki compete to secure their family lines to survive the end of the world, Annabel struggles to find the power to stop Ragnarok completely. She’s determined to be more than just a means to an end. The question that Ash leaves us with is will she find a way to harness her power as an Omega to save the world?
Well damn that is what kickb**t story. For some that haven’t read any omegaverse books, please read the note from the author at the beginning. She has a great explanation of it and to let you know what to expect. That said, I loved the book and can’t wait for the next one. This is a series and has cliffhangers, so read in order. Expect some extreme alpha/omega relationships and this is a reverse harem too. There is lots of action and adventure all rotating around Norse mythology. I love how the relationships change through all the trial and pain. How each of the characters grow into what they were meant to be.
Ragnarok is nipping at their heels in this RH. We have Norse gods, an imminent end of the world setting and 5, count ‘em 5 Alpha’s hot for one poor omega. They are demanding complete submission but they don’t know who they are dealing with. Great character development and more story than you sometimes get in a RH. Did end on a cliffhanger but this is a big story. Anxiously awaiting the next episode. (I voluntarily reviewed an ARC).
WARNING This Book May contain sexy brooding alphas…..that = one hek of a surprisingly good adventure. & of course hot sex scenes which are not overly done and neither are the cheesy stuff…(playing kissy face… oooh I soo love u brett….) you know the kind; I can’t reme if I knew this was gonna be a reverse harem but overly surprised; the writing was very good with some mystery and adventure didn’t really expect. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
I received this little “gem” of an arc for an honest opinion and review; HAPPY READING!!!
Its hard to write reviews without spoilers, so I will do my best. Buy this book! This author is extremely talented!! If you like great chemistry and lots of action in a paranormal setting… this book is for you! I have yet to be disappointed by any of this authors books. Shes one of my top favorite indie authors.
Ragnarök Rising by Nora Ash is a wonderful storyto read. This is a brand new author for me and this is book number one with a start to a brand new series that I fell in love with. I highly recommend this story to everyone who loves magic.

~Glorious God mayhem~
Myths, magic, glorious Alphas who are pitted against each other. For many centuries, five demi-gods have been waiting the appearance of their fated mate. When Annabel Turner arrives in Iceland intending to delve into Norse history for her doctorate degree, she ends up running from her hosts, the Lokisson sons Saga, Bjarni and Grim right into the eye of a storm, thinking she was going to feature in a pagan sacrifice. Instead, the claiming of her as an Omega by five Alphas and its purposes are revealed to her…and revolve around her and her Alphas.
But biting at everyone’s heels is the Ragnarök event, indicated already by the Fimbulwinter storm she almost perished in, if not for Magni and his claiming of her. So Annabel supposedly does have a choice, but a monumentally heavy one, to make for the greater good of all realms, it seems, and all three of Loki’s sons cannot wait to claim her. However, first they have to deal with Thor’s sons, Magni and Modi as well as other unforeseen forces, because this is one Omega female who is definitely worth fighting for.
I love all things mythology and when combined with RH romance, I really devour every book I can find. This was a steamy RH based on North Mythology, with wonderful characters, well-written and with a great plot. I’m anxious to read the next book in the series|!

This book was awesome! I absolutely love anything to do with Norse mythology. As a Dane I grew up with the stories of the Norse gods. The author put a new and original spin on the mythology. I really look forward to the next book.
Heat with Heart!
Nora Ash starts her latest series, The Omega Prophecy, with an intensely heart wrenching and provocative tale, Ragnarok Rising. An omega whose heart may break as she tries to save the world, by loving the sons of Loki and Thor.
A story like you have NEVER read before. And one that will leave you wanting so much more, in the best possible way.
Can the ‘alphaest alphas’ actually claim her heart, with the intensity of which they claim her body? Will the sons protect their omega or risk failing those they love?
Can’t wait for the next book in this series!
WOW WOW WOW! I couldnt wait to read this because I loved Nora Ash’s Feral series. This was even better than expected. The world the author creates is so interesting. All the anti heroes are great and I cant wait to read more about them. Annabel is feisty and strong. This story has all the sexiness of an omegaverse story with the detail and intrigue of a full lenghth novel. I loved this book and I hate that I have to wait even one minute to read the next one in the series!!
An interesting and well-written story. Good story dynamics and plot. I liked the way the story progressed. Nicely done for the most part.

This was… wow. I love norse mythology and it’s always fun when people play with folklore and the end-of-the-world type things, but this, combined with Ash’s amazing story-telling talent blew my mind. I’m currently in a reading funk and my reading experiences are usually half-way filled with irritation or critique if it isn’t “perfect” but with this one, I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Ash writes intensely hot scenes that I totally felt in my stomach and I love those reactions. It’s fun to get something out of reading a book, and I love that the characters were so different. They’re real jerks, the guys, and I loved it, because it was just a breath of fresh air from what I’ve been getting so far.
I wouldn’t recommend this to people who don’t like dubious content type things because, obviously, you wouldn’t enjoy it. Otherwise I think those who like what’s advertised about this baby will seriously find themselves enraptured. Recommended so hard!
Can’t deny the sex scenes are still steamy, but a lot more of the writing is on the character development. This book focuses more on 2 of Annabel’s 5 mates (Saga and Magni) – which is a good build up. I think getting to know all 5 alpha mates in one sitting (ie book) would be overwhelming! What’s great is the storyline of Annabel’s mates NOT being all friendly towards each other – trying to blend being antagonistic/enemy alphas with 1 mate (OUCH! Poor Annabel) Find myself rooting for Grim, and looking forward to more of him in upcoming books. Got to the end of the book and went … “Oh d***, I have to wait for the next book!”, I wish the whole story came out in one massive book! But at the same time, that would mean a longer wait for new releases :S

The world created has been marveoulouslly constructed. Using viking/celtic and the asgardian culture, has built a world full of prophecy and the start of Ragnarok.
Betrayal, secrets, and amazing characters are contained in this wonderful start of the series.
Please keep in mind this is an omegaverse, containing triggers like dubious consent.

I’m a huge fan of Omegaverse books and the RH genre, so when I learned that Nora Ash was writing one, I was pumped! I adore her books so one of my favorite authors combining two of my loves in one series made me overjoyed! This book is SO good! So sexy and delicious, with a storyline that hooked me from the beginning. I can’t wait for more!!

This was my first omegaverse book. I thought it was very good. Annabelle is headstrong and kickass. I didn’t care for some of the crude words used, or the forced interactions but it didn’t detract from the story. The world building was good, the characters are pretty well described. I’m really anticipating her relationship with Grim. I’m betting it will be explosive! Overall, this was a great read and i cant wait for the next one.
