Overview

In the savage heart of Viking-era Vestfold, the Shield Maidens' rebellion burns like an unquenchable fire.

Karina—warrior, strategist, and defiant heart of the resistance—finds herself trapped in a web of political intrigue and brutal clan politics. After a daring mission goes catastrophically wrong, she is captured by Harald, the ruthless war chief determined to crush the Shield Maidens' uprising once and for all.

As Karina faces the most terrifying execution in Viking history—the legendary Blood Eagle—her companions Thorarna and Freydis must make an impossible choice. Rescue seems impossible. The wilderness is closing in. Knud's hunting parties are mere days away, and the resistance is on the brink of total destruction.

Meanwhile, a mysterious monk travels with vital information that could change everything. Manuscripts containing secrets older than the Norse kingdoms themselves hint at a transformation far beyond simple rebellion. Strange astronomical charts and cryptic calculations suggest a conflict that extends far beyond territorial disputes.

The völva magic of Freydis grows stronger, revealing landscapes of potential futures. Ancient gods watch. The land itself seems to breathe with anticipation of coming conflict.

From the mist-shrouded fjords to the blood-soaked halls of Viking power, this is a story of resistance, survival, and the unbreakable spirit of warriors who refuse to be silenced.

One woman's defiance. One clan's brutal revenge. One rebellion that will reshape kingdoms.

Blood. Prophecy. Rebellion.

The Shield Maidens are coming.
