What happens when a Viking king's daughter, trained by warriors, is thrust into the heart of a deadly power struggle?

Tora, the daughter of a Viking king raised by a shieldmaiden, and Ullserk, her steadfast warrior friend, are chosen to join Håkon Jarl's warband on a perilous journey to Denmark. But even before setting sail, they discover that not even their own allies can be trusted. In the bustling trade city of Hedeby, foreign warriors and local thugs do everything they can to make their lives miserable.

And the battle has not even begun.

Soon, Tora and Ullserk will face their first real combat against the formidable forces of Holy Roman Emperor Otto II. As the stakes soar, it becomes clear that their preparations were insufficient. Survival becomes their only priority as enemies close in from every side.


Join Tora and Ullserk on an epic journey through the tumultuous heart of 10th-century European power struggles in this astonishing tale of courage, betrayal, and resilience.
