River of Shadows (Underworld Gods, Book 1) By Karina Halle

 "River of Shadows" by author Sav R. Miller is a dark fantasy novel that blends elements of mythology, fairy tales, and romance. When Hanna Heikkinen's estranged father dies, she travels to Northern Finland for his funeral. There, she discovers that her father was a powerful shaman who ventured into Tuonela, the Realm of the Dead, to bargain for more life and has been held captive by Tuoni, the God of Death. Hanna is determined to rescue her father and agrees to accompany Rasmus, a mysterious man, into the underworld.

As they journey through the dark and dangerous realm, they encounter various mythical creatures and face perilous challenges. Eventually, they reach the haunted kingdom ruled by Death and his family. Hanna is captured by Death himself, who is intrigued by her beauty and fierceness. He offers her a bargain: if she marries him and becomes his wife, he will set her father free. Hanna is torn between her love for her father and her desire to return to the land of the living.
