An Earl with godly ambitions. A Viking warrior. A scheme, decades in the making.
The heart of the Ironwood, a mysterious forest, has been pillaged and replacedr with a mine. Hrothgar, the Earl of Lejre has amassed so much power in his great hall that he’s now staked his claim as ruler of Midgard. But only under the use of violence. Children have been separated from their parents. Entire communities have been destroyed. And hopelessness grips the weak and strong alike.
But there are still those willing to fight for their home. Skadi, a Viking Warrior, has recently defeated a jötunn and now joins the wise, bodiless Mimir in search of his body. Skadi’s victory has made her a legendary warrior, but this fame has come with a price: the attention of powerful and cunning adversaries.
A message from the Earl draws Skadi into a decades-long conspiracy involving the Aesir gods. She is a fast, strong, and skilled warrior with years of combat experience, but if she has any hope of taking down the Earl and his followers, she’s going to have to accept that victory could depend on other people.
In Lejre, a town full of lies.
