In Viking Age Scandinavia, a young shieldmaiden must decide which is the more dangerous weapon: the sword or the heart...

Svanhild, eldest daughter of a Viking jarl, dreams of being a shieldmaiden.

When a cruel usurper steals her family’s throne, she must act quickly to spare her family from the enemy’s axe. Guided by the gods, she agrees to a betrothal with the enemy’s son – one she will never go through with.

What her heart truly desires is revenge.

But the Norse gods have woven a dangerous fate for Svanhild and her two sisters... and the trickster god Loki plays his games. As the new jarl unleashes fresh cruelties on her family, Svanhild is torn between love and revenge.

Does she have what it takes to fight for her family and fulfill her destiny, even if it breaks her heart?
