Angol
I, Dawn Akselisdóttir, am a healer's apprentice at the House of Eir, but I dream of being a warrior and to be seen as a battle-worthy woman who can take care of herself by Father, the former clan Chief. In the last few seasons, the Verja clan, my home and safe space, has danger lurking right outside the borders. Traveling merchants are dying. Our supplies are dwindling. When a group of unexpected Red Lion warriors is offered lodgings within our home by our current Chief, I know something isn't right. One of them even has the guts to mingle himself into our clan business. And I want nothing more than for things to go back to normal. But when our Chief demands an attack on another clan that might result in war, the edges between allies and foes blur. I'm forced to fight, but I'm not sure the olden days of glory are actually so glorious.
The Northern Lands is a world inspired by Scandinavia, the Viking ages, and Norse mythology where myths come back alive and find new meaning. The peace between the seven clans will be tested, the edges between allies and foes will blur. And once again, the Northern Lands will find themselves in the realm of war.
