The Wrath of the Falcon
Freya’s life was one of servitude and fear under the cruel Jarl Bjørn. Her only thought was of escape, but the night she flees his burning hall, she discovers a terrifying truth: the fire came from her. A monstrous power awakens within her, a force of flame and fury she cannot control.
Branded a murderous runaway, Freya finds fragile sanctuary in Aros, where she swears a desperate oath to the formidable Jarl Kåre. But safety is an illusion. Bjørn’s hunters are closing in, and the Jarl’s new alliance with the vengeful sons of Ragnar Lothbrok hurtles the settlement toward a war Freya wants no part of.
As she struggles to master the primal magic that threatens to consume her, a more dangerous threat arrives. A völva, a seeress from the sacred temple of Uppsala, has come to Aros. She is hunting for a "loose thread in the pattern"—a thread that looks exactly like Freya. Now, Freya must choose: hide from the power that marks her as an abomination, or embrace the wrath of the falcon and forge her own destiny, before she is hunted, controlled, or destroyed.
