Alena’s fight for freedom grows more perilous with every step. As rival Jarls close in, she must rally warriors, secure fragile alliances, and outwit enemies determined to bring her fledgling stronghold to ruin.
But alliances come at a steep cost. To gain the loyalty of hesitant allies, Alena must prove her worth in blood-soaked battles and offer payments she can barely afford. Each victory is shadowed by heavy losses, and the path to the Iron Crown demands sacrifices that test her resolve.
With her enemies gathering strength, Alena faces a race against time. Even triumph risks dragging her closer to ruin, as the weight of leadership threatens to break her warrior’s spirit. Vrania has never had a king or queen, and as the drums of war thunder louder, Alena begins to understand why.
Can she outmaneuver those who seek to destroy her, or will the cost of the crown prove too great for even the Wolf Queen to bear?
Inspired by the legendary Icelandic and Norse sagas, The Saga of the Wolf Queen spins a timeless tale of resilience amid chaos, of facing down envy and hatred, and of navigating the harrowing choices that come with survival in a turbulent world.
Though this series is not apart of 'The Legends of Karik', it is set in the centuries between Vranr's exile in the mythic past, and the adventures of Karik and Ylm, and is an enjoyable that tale that stands on its own while also filling out the world in which Karik and Ylmi live.
