THE FLIGHT OF THE VALKYRIE

Death is not the end of Bryn’s story. It’s only the beginning.

 

Brynja Danelsdottir never dreamed of being a warrior; never wanted battle-fame or glory. But the Fates have their own designs for her: Bryn’s plans to escape her family’s poverty and travel the world are destroyed when she gets pregnant by the chieftain’s son, and her once-lover betrays and kills her.

Now the goddess Freya has summoned Bryn’s spirit to Asgard, the world of the gods, and offered her a choice: join the Valkyries in protecting humanity and Asgard alike, or stride through oblivion’s gate, and face the final end.

Bryn refuses to be cast away, and begins her new life training as a Valkyrie. But like her mortal existence as an aimless, lowborn girl in the village of Gravik, Bryn finds herself out of place amongst her fierce new sisterhood, and distracted by unfinished business – and a desire for vengeance against her killer – in the human world.

Despite the progress she makes in her training, when Bryn discovers that her murderer is on the verge of becoming king in her homeland, she steals a flying horse and returns to the human world to settle the score, only to find herself caught up in schemes she never imagined.

Now Bryn must find the truth of the dangers that threaten not only her, but those she cares for in the human world, and her newfound community in Asgard. Many perils stand in her way: giants and dire spirits, divided loyalties, and something far worse that even now begins to thaw from the primordial ice of the Void.

But if Bryn can survive and claim her place amongst the Valkyries, a new home – a new purpose – waits for her in the world of the gods.
