In the initial novel of a Norse-influenced fantasy romance series by the esteemed author of The Bridge Kingdom series, a shield maiden favored by the gods engages in a struggle to bring together a kingdom beneath a king consumed by power. Simultaneously, she contends with her increasing passion for his hot-blooded son. Confined within an undesired union, Freya spends her time gutting fish while yearning to be a fighter. And placing an axe in her uncouth spouse's back. Freya's dreams suddenly turn into reality as her husband double-crosses her to the local chief, thrusting her into a life-or-death battle against his son, Bjorn. In order to stay alive, Freya must disclose her most hidden truth: She carries a drop of divine blood, turning her into a shield maiden armed with magical powers to ward off any assault. I was predicted that such sorcery would bring together the divided realm of Skaland under the dominion of the one who determines the destiny of the shield maiden. The fanatical jarl believes he is destined to rule Skaland as king. He binds Freya with a blood oath and commands Bjorn to safeguard her from their adversaries. Freya must undergo rigorous training to demonstrate her capabilities, mastering combat skills and harnessing her magical abilities, all while confronting challenging trials orchestrated by the divine beings. Resisting her forbidden attraction to Bjorn may be the greatest test of all. By giving in to her desires for the alluring and brave warrior, Freya jeopardizes not only her own future but also the well-being of the entire community she vowed to safeguard.
