One shieldmaiden. Four sworn warriors. An empire built on love—and war.
Brynhild Stormborn proved a woman could rule when she claimed her jarldom through blood and steel. But ruling one territory isn't enough when enemies see her success as a threat to everything they believe.
Pregnant with her first child and outnumbered by an alliance of kingdoms, she faces an impossible choice: surrender who she is, or fight a war that could destroy everyone she loves.
Her four warriors stand ready.
Viggo, her unbreakable shield. Kael, her controlled fury. Leif, her tactical genius. Rune, her silver-tongued diplomat. Each sworn to her through blood oath. Each willing to die protecting what they've built together.
But when three thousand enemy warriors surround their walls, strength and loyalty might not be enough.
This isn't just about territory.
It's about proving that women can lead warriors. That families don't have to fit traditional molds to be strong. That love multiplies instead of dividing when five people choose each other against the world.
The siege will test everything they've built. Alliances will shatter. Oaths will be broken. Blood will stain the snow. And Brynhild must become more than a warrior or a mother—she must become the leader of a revolution.
Four warriors sworn to one woman. One woman fighting for the future. And a world that will never be the same.
Can love and steel forge an empire? Or will tradition crush everything they've dared to build?
