The Shieldmaiden's Choice (Shieldmaiden #3)

The fires of Hedeby are barely behind them. The wounds of betrayal, loss, and hard choices still bleed.

Tora Håkonsdatter and her battered crew sail north, seeking safety in Norway’s familiar fjords, but home is no longer the sanctuary it once was. In Trøndelag, Håkon Jarl tightens his grip with iron and blood, and Tora must navigate a world where old loyalties rot and new enemies wear familiar faces. When a single act of defiance risks everything, Tora will face a choice no sword can loyalty to her people, or loyalty to herself.

Meanwhile, far from her side, Eirik Raude fights to survive among those he once called enemies. To live, he must play a dangerous game of lies and loyalty, every step pulling him deeper into the shadows, and further from the boy he used to be.

When past sins and future ambitions collide, honor may not be enough to save them.

This time, the gods won't choose the victors.

This time, the shieldmaiden must.
