Kara Shieldmaiden of Eire (Forerunner book 4)

Battles and adventure crisscross the Viking Age! From monumental sea clashes to beleaguered mountain strongholds to war with the tribes of Eire, circumstance drives the scattered Agneson clan across the known world. And beyond the lands of Midgard, mythic hidden folk challenge our forerunner hero. The award-winning Forerunner Series epic continues….

Fleeing an arranged marriage, sister Kara escapes across the narrow sea to follow her warrior dreams in the Dublinn guards. Escaping slavery, Cub joins Rollo’s horde to ravage Britany, while his outlawed brother Sorven fights for survival in the Welsh mountains. Uncle Karl and his warriors rally to Harald Tanglehair in his ambition to unify the wild kingdoms of Norway, and young Thorfinn is left behind, safe, and secure in a tiny fishing village on the Norwegian coast… or is he?

Kara gains her place in King of Dublinn’s ranks to prove her mettle, but just when everything seems perfect, her plans are upended: can she face the demands of Irish warfare and what of these confusing new feelings she finds for her closest companion?

Will Karl and his crew perish in the great battle of Hafrsfjord?
And how will an unprepared Thorfinn survive kidnapping by an 8-armed giant, leaving behind worried friends and a very angry dragon?

Don’t miss this 5-star epic fantasy critics are calling “whimsical and gritty,” with “fabulous, engaging characters.” If you enjoy the history of The Last Kingdom and Nordic myths and legends, the Forerunner Series is a grand tale not to be missed!
