About the book: year / One whispers to me in my dreams. He says that I am destined to wield the legendary sword. He assures me that my path will lead me to Valhalla. But then I wake up and... I'm just Herver. A daughter without a father. Unloved. Unwanted. Earl Bjartmar, my grandfather, despises me. My mother has forgotten me. Everyone says that I should have been left in the forest to be eaten by the wolves. But no one tells me why. No one except Eydis, the seer slave, seems to believe that I am destined for a great destiny. But who will trust the one who worships Loki? When the king and his son arrive at the sacred blot, the runes favor me. A handsome Viking is determined to win my heart, but first I must unravel the mystery hanging over me. The book will appeal to all fans of "Vikings" and "Mists of Avalon". This thrilling historical Viking fantasy retells the Norse saga of Hervør and Heidrek, depicting the life of the warrior Hervør, who inspired J. R. R. Tolkien's character Éowyn.
