Book Description
In the realms where war is a constant hum, Elara, a shieldmaiden yearning for a different fate, stumbles upon a hidden truth. The Valkyries, her celestial sisters, are not the protectors they seem to be, but pawns manipulated by a sinister entity known as the Weaver. Fueled by whispers of rebellion and a newfound connection to the ancient power of the Wyrd, Elara embarks on a perilous journey to expose the Weaver's web of control and forge a new destiny for the realms. Join Elara and her band of renegade shieldmaidens as they defy the Valkyries, challenge the Weaver's reign of terror, and fight to restore balance to a world ravaged by endless conflict. Witness their battles against celestial warriors, their struggles to unite a divided populace, and their ultimate confrontation with the entity that thrives on bloodshed. This epic tale of rebellion and hope explores themes of destiny, free will, and the fight for a better future. As Elara and her companions rewrite the fabric of fate, they redefine the role of the shieldmaidens, transforming them from instruments of war into guardians of the Wyrd, the life force that sustains all existence. If you seek a story that blends action, intrigue, and a deep exploration of the human spirit's fight against oppression, then step into the world of the Shieldmaidens' Rebellion. It is a tale that will leave you questioning the established order, celebrating the power of hope, and forever remembering the shieldmaidens who dared to dream of a world at peace.

The Real Valkyrie
Author: Nancy Marie Brown
Publisher: St. Martin's Press
ISBN: 1250200830
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 325
Book Description
In the tradition of Stacy Schiff’s Cleopatra, Brown lays to rest the hoary myth that Viking society was ruled by men and celebrates the dramatic lives of female Viking warriors “Once again, Brown brings Viking history to vivid, unexpected life—and in the process, turns what we thought we knew about Norse culture on its head. Superb.” —Scott Weidensaul, author of New York Times bestselling A World on the Wing "Magnificent. It captured me from the very first page." —Pat Shipman, author of The Invaders In 2017, DNA tests revealed to the collective shock of many scholars that a Viking warrior in a high-status grave in Birka, Sweden was actually a woman. The Real Valkyrie weaves together archaeology, history, and literature to imagine her life and times, showing that Viking women had more power and agency than historians have imagined. Nancy Marie Brown uses science to link the Birka warrior, whom she names Hervor, to Viking trading towns and to their great trade route east to Byzantium and beyond. She imagines her life intersecting with larger-than-life but real women, including Queen Gunnhild Mother-of-Kings, the Viking leader known as The Red Girl, and Queen Olga of Kyiv. Hervor’s short, dramatic life shows that much of what we have taken as truth about women in the Viking Age is based not on data, but on nineteenth-century Victorian biases. Rather than holding the household keys, Viking women in history, law, saga, poetry, and myth carry weapons. These women brag, “As heroes we were widely known—with keen spears we cut blood from bone.” In this compelling narrative Brown brings the world of those valkyries and shield-maids to vivid life.

Book Description
Paste Magazine Pick for Best New Fantasy Books of July 2022 From the time she was born, Sigrid has only ever been ordinary. Being paired at birth with a plain horse—instead of the powerful winged mare of a valkyrie—meant there would be no warrior path for her. No riding the skies, no glory among the nine worlds. Just the simple, unremarkable life of a stable hand. Everything changes when a terrible enemy ambushes Vanaheim and Sigrid sees a vision of herself atop a mythical stallion, leading the valkyries into a harrowing battle. Finally, she can grab her future with her own two hands and become the hero of her own story...if she dares. But her destiny is tied up with Mariam, a fallen valkyrie who’s allied herself with the very enemy Sigrid is trying to stop. Now Sigrid has left ordinary behind as she begins a journey with the beautiful—if treacherous—valkyrie, each step bringing her closer to answers...and to awakened feelings for Mariam. But the life Sigrid left behind is starting to look a lot like paradise...especially when her destiny lies in the one place no mortal should tread: the gates of Hel.

Languages : en
Pages : 635
Book Description
Killing immortals doesn’t take as much effort as one might think. Killing gods? That’s a whole other story. And when it comes to killing my mother… Don’t get me started. I thought I knew everything about my life, until a Norse god of war showed up at my family’s retreat with literal centuries of baggage—some of it mine. Turns out I’m a woman with lifetimes of magic that I knew nothing about. Now, I’m a Valkyrie. Did I mention, my father turned out to be immortal and my best friend is now my boyfriend? Oh, Diego’s a dragon, too. And said Norse god? Tyr’s my boyfriend too. All of that is plenty of crazy for any one person. It doesn’t stop there for me—my mother has tried to kill me twice now, and is allied with my enemies. And Loki—the one god’s blood I crave to give me vengeance—might be the one who has the answers I need to give me peace. On the rollercoaster that is my current life, I’m faced with one turn after another, and a couple of loopty-loops, of magic and possibility. Power that could bring more of my past back from the grave, and in doing so rekindle smoldering embers that were snuffed before they became more, hundreds of years ago. The big question is—what will I have to sacrifice to see him again? Valkyrie Freed is book 3 of Astrid's slow-build, #Whychoose story within the Valkyries Rising series consisting of Valkyrie Lost, Valkyrie Renewed, and Valkyrie Freed. Valkyrie Freed MUST be read after the events of Valkyrie Renewed and Valkyrie Unchained. Valkyries Rising is a #WhyChoose series where the heroine doesn’t have to pick just one mate. In these pages you’ll find strong heroines who don’t back down, and the shifters, gods, dragons, and other supernatural immortals who love them and fight by their sides. --- Valkyries Rising Valkyrie Destined (#1) Valkyrie Lost (#2) Valkyrie Renewed (#3) Valkyrie Restored (#4) Valkyrie Confused (#5) Valkyrie Condemned (#6) Valkyrie Unchained (#7) Valkyrie Freed (#8) Valkyrie Shattered (#9) Valkyrie's Legacy Heart in the Sand (#0.5) Valkyrie Reborn (#1) Valkyrie Hunted (#2) Valkyrie Concealed (#3) Valkyrie Crowned (#4) NEON Subversion (#1) Corruption (#2) Sabotage (#3) Annihilation (#4) Exploitation (#5) Decimation (#6)

Interdisciplinary in approach, Tolkien the Medievalist provides a fresh perspective on J. R. R. Tolkien's Medievalism.
