The Shieldmaiden's Swords: A Viking saga - Paperback

by Tony Bakkejord (Author), Ole Åsli (Author)

The first battle for Danevirke is over, but Tora's war is just beginning.

In the aftermath of the Emperor's failed assault on the Danevirke, Tora Haakonsdatter finds herself at the heart of a fractured alliance. Viking warbands abandon Hedeby, trust frays among allies, and danger lurks in every shadow.

Tasked with guarding a caravan of precious supplies bound for Hedeby, Tora and her crew must navigate treacherous terrain and fend off relentless attacks. But the roads are rife with outlaws-and some even bear the Emperor's colors. For every step, Tora feels the weight of her crew's lives on her shoulders-and the cost of failure grows higher.

As Hedeby braces for another Imperial assault, Tora's world is upended by a revelation that threatens her mission, her crew, and her very survival. To claim victory, she must rely on her skill, her wits, and the unbreakable bonds with those she calls family.

Step into a world of fragile alliances, hard-won honor, and epic battles as one woman's fight for survival shapes the fate of nations. The Shieldmaiden's Swords is a must-read for fans of gritty Viking sagas and unyielding heroines.
