I'm sixteen this year, and my mother says I should marry soon.
Loki.
I'd already be married if any cheiftains' sons were man enough to have me.
When I do find a husband though, I'll inherit the village of Borg, which as the Princess of Lofoten is my birthright.
We'll have several farms and command a fleet of viking ships. I'll give birth to mighty warrior sons or a fierce shieldmaiden like myself. And perhaps one day, if it pleases the gods, I'll take my grandfather's place as the Jarl of Hålogaland.
That's how things might have been - if my entire life hadn't been a lie.
But now the secret's out. Even if I am the last to know.
And the truth has awakened something ... something frightening within me.
I've always had a temper. There's enough young men with missing teeth who can attest to that.
But this? This is different.
This rage. This hunger. This intense thirst for blood.
It's more than I can control.
The worst part?
It all makes sense when I learn who my father really is.
