The Last Valkyrie

On the brink of Ragnarök, a shieldmaiden with everything to prove embarks on a dangerous quest to join Freyja’s Valkyries.

Born with sensory sensitivities that make the world feel like too much, Eira Leifsdottir has spent her whole life being told she is too strange, too sensitive, too broken to be a true shieldmaiden. Her dream is to find a place among the goddess Freyja’s Valkyries — but first, she must prove her valor.

When a mysterious warrior arrives at the Jól feast cloaked in bear fur and unearthly light, Eira steps forward to accept his impossible challenge.

Armed with an enchanted axe, Eira rides alone into the frozen wilderness to find the den of the great wolf Fenrir. But dark forces are closing in, frost giants roam the tundra, and the axe on her back may not be the weapon she thinks it is.

As visions of Ragnarök haunt her dreams and the threads of fate tighten around her, Eira begins to suspect that everything that makes her different may be exactly what the gods have been counting on.

A dark Viking novel inspired by the legend of the Green Knight, perfect for fans of The Vikings, Norse mythology, fierce sapphic heroines, and dark fantasy stories.
