For Elin, the new Jarl of Bergen, leading her warriors on a successful raid should have cemented her rule – and embellish the saga of her younger sister Aino, her famed drengr and shield.
Losing the entire crew and their longship in a devastating storm, the shieldmaiden sisters shipwreck far away from the plentiful English shores they set out to pillage and lands them in the arms of the man who once broke Elin’s heart.
Halvar Bear-Bane knows he is their only hope of returning to their undefended home, but his price for safe passage may prove too steep for Elin’s pride as the powerful chief seeks her alliance for his grandiose plans.
Niall, the enigmatic laird of Shetland and Halvar’s newest ally, is fascinated by Aino – and the young shieldmaiden finds herself just as intrigued by the soft-spoken man, despite knowing she will have to leave him soon.
But the sisters quickly find their threads of fate tangled in tragedy; a curse has struck, forcing a desperate Aino to find the source before it claims Elin’s life.
