Overview

Sigrid Kveldulfsdaughter, now a respected warrior and land-owner, feels she has reached her goal and can settle down to peaceful trade and see her children grow into adulthood. But then her uncle Eirik Bloodaxe makes another attempt to win the throne of the Viking Kingdom of Jorvik and, invoking blood-ties, calls on her support. Sigrid is torn between her duty to Eirik Bloodaxe and her loyalty to her Cumbrian neighbours. She has to face her hardest challenge yet as this war could see her and her husband fighting for opposite sides on the battlefield. Enemies from Sigrid's past re-surface and pose dangers that can't always be met sword-in-hand. Magic, treachery and intrigue combine to threaten the lives of Sigrid's children and she is forced into a final, desperate struggle.

'I loved this trilogy of books. The characters were so believable, that before long I found myself rooting for my favourite ones. Once I started reading the first book I couldn't put it down and so greedily read all three, one after the other. A fabulous read.' - Josie Lowe, Amazon Reviewer

Author Information

Born and bred in Sweden, Marianne grew up on stories about the Vikings and their world. She arrived in England to find that most peoples' knowledge about Vikings could be summed up as `rape and pillage'. Marianne tries in her books to give a more nuanced view. She loves the Lake District where the Shieldmaiden trilogy is set. Marianne's poetry and short stories have found their way into various magazines and anthologies but mainly she writes historical adventures with women at the centre of action.
