A gripping prequel novella that launches the Shieldmaiden saga.

Daughter of a king, raised by a shieldmaiden, life should be simple, right?

But in the wake of Haakon's fall, danger lurks around every corner for Bethany and Tora.

Determined to honor Haakon's memory, Bethany strives to provide Tora with a life of peace and safety. But Tora craves more than tranquility. She longs for glory and battle.

Becoming a shieldmaiden is harder than Tora could ever have imagined. As a young woman in a man's world, she must use every resource at her disposal to survive, but it never seems enough.

Can Tora live up to her legacy and claim her place in the Viking world, or will the pursuit of honor cost too much?
