"Valkyrie Rising" by Ingrid Paulson

Young adult fiction. Nothing ever happens in Norway. But at least Ellie knows what to expect when she visits her grandmother: a tranquil fishing village and long, slow summer days. What Ellie doesn't anticipate is her big brother's infuriating best friend, Tuck, tagging along for the trip. Nor did she imagine boys going missing amid rumors of impossible kidnappings. Least of all does she expect that something powerful and ancient will awaken in her, and that strange whispers will urge Ellie to claim her place among mythological warriors.
