Last of the Völsung line of kings descended from Odin, Sigurd is one of the elite Sjórúlfar—the fearsome Sea Wolves of southern Norway. Endowed with the divine blood of the wolf, he seeks glory at the Sólhjarta Summer Solstice Tournament to avenge his father’s death.
Brynhildr, daughter of the Raven King, is the Sun Falcon shieldmaiden and gifted seeress who has glimpsed her fate as a Valkyrie in a seiðr vision. When her father decrees she must wed the tournament’s champion, she summons Freyja for guidance—only to learn her future is bound to Sigurd.
As the Norns tighten the intricate threads of fate, Brynhildr must guide Sigurd toward his destiny as a dragonslayer—by defying the web of wyrd and incurring the wrath of Odin.

The wind tore at his
sodden hair as Sigurd lay sprawled across the frosted gorse, chest heaving, muscles
twitching from cold and exertion. Under the clear night sky, the roar of the
waterfall crashed into the fjord far below. Spray hissed as it rose against the
craggy cliff, amidst the crackle of the bonfire within the stone-enclosed
hearth and the flickering torches which encircled the tall standing stone.
The monolith jutted
skyward like a sentinel, its rough surface carved with the snarling face of a savage
wolf whose eyes glinted in the moonlight, dark pits daring him to venture
close. Suspended on a black leather cord from its carved maw, Úlfkló—the
Wolfclaw talisman— rocked in the howling wind.
Sigurd slowly rose on
badly shaking legs, staggering across the icy clearing and placing his numb
fingers on the sacred rock. He reached up and claimed the enchanted amulet,
tying it behind his neck under his long braided hair. While the wind tore
across the clifftop, whipping his bearded face, a rush of power surged through
his limbs as the spirit of the wolf seeped into his veins.
The Sea Wolf warriors
closed in around him, low growls of approval and acceptance rising into a
feral, unified howl that echoed across the cliff and rolled over the moonlit fjord.
When the howl subsided,
Hróðvarr Ironfang, the leader of the pack, approached Sigurd, lupine eyes
glinting in the torchlight. “Three brutal days, three tortured nights… nine
agonizing trials. You have proven yourself worthy. You are one of us now.”
