The Fell Deeds of Fate is a 2025 Reader’s Favorite Awards Winner!
The saga of Hasting the Avenger has reached new heights. The Fell Deeds of Fate, Book IV in C.J. Adrien’s internationally acclaimed Viking series, has officially been named a 2025 Reader’s Favorite Award Winner!
For those unfamiliar, Reader’s Favorite is one of the most respected international book award contests in the industry. With thousands of entries from over a dozen countries each year, their panel of judges—composed of publishing professionals, authors, and avid readers—recognizes the best books across genres. To rise from the sea of competitors and seize victory is no small feat. This is a mark of quality, honor, and recognition that few books earn.
But the glory doesn’t end there. The Fell Deeds of Fate was also highly praised by Kirkus Reviews, one of the most prestigious and notoriously discerning voices in publishing. Kirkus rarely gives high commendation, and when they do, readers know it means the work is something special.
So what makes this novel stand apart? In The Fell Deeds of Fate, the indomitable Viking chieftain Hasting turns his eyes toward Constantinople, the heart of empire, where the clash of swords meets the clash of destinies. It’s a tale of ambition, power, and the peril of chasing immortality—crafted with the grit, blood, and thunder that true Viking sagas demand.
If you crave shield-walls and storm-tossed seas, if you hunger for tales as sharp as a battle-axe and as fierce as Odin’s wrath, then this book belongs in your hands.
Congrats! Well deserved.
