Pisses me off. But maybe I need that kind of fire. Maybe it's what I've been missing.

Eine Nachricht warnt Häuptling Gorm Grymme und Thyra Danebod: Ein gewaltiges Kriegsheer aus Schweden, Angelsachsen und germanischen Stämmen zieht gen Haithabu. Thyra ist schon längst keine Sklavin und Feindin mehr, sondern eine hart ausgebildete Kriegerin. Die Prophezeiung der Göttin Freyja lässt Hoffnung aufkeimen: "Thyra wird die Wikingerfrauen im Kampf gegen die Feinde anführen und den Danewall ausbauen. Sie ist von uns Göttern auserwählt." Feinde kommen jedoch nicht nur übers Meer und Land. Die Neider in den eigenen Reihen sind mächtig.

Nur knapp entkommt die Flotte des Wikingerhäuptlings Gorm mit seiner Geliebten Thyra den ersten Winterstürmen und erreicht den Archipel des ersten Siedlers. Thyras Freiheit ist nah, die nordischen Göttinnen prophezeien ihr eine mächtige Zukunft. Sie lässt sich zur Kriegerin ausbilden, kämpft hart. Gorm und Thyra begründeten als erstes Paar den Aufstieg des dänischen Königreichs.

Voller Hass auf ihre Entführer lehnt Thyra Danebod sich gegen die brutalen und mordenden Nordmänner auf. Thyra beginnt, die Sprache, die fremden Gebräuche und die Lebensart des Seefahrervolks zu verstehen. Auf der abenteuerlichen Reise im Drachenboot lernt sie die Fremde kennen, und während die Nordmänner unerbittlich um Macht, Reichtum und Ehre streiten, kämpft Thyra für ihre Freiheit, Liebe und schließlich ihre eigene Identität.

In order to defeat evil, I'm going to have to embrace the darkness and journey into the abandoned mines on the outskirts of the kingdom, meeting the demons themselves. And the princes? If they have truly chosen me, then we will see in time just how much weight a dragon's promise holds.

Some roads lead to pleasure. Others lead to darkness. But this one? It leads to both. Eliza Calloway thought she had escaped the Duskborn, the shadowy entity that had haunted her every step.

"Da begann zu ihren Füßen ein neues Wunder. Wie ein Hauch rieselte ein lichtes Grün über die verdörrte Pflanzendecke, die Halme richteten sich auf und bald wandelte das Mädchen durch eine Fülle sprießender Blätter und Blumen." Sehr lange hatte es nicht mehr geregnet, es war der heißeste Sommer seit hundert Jahren.

Nur dem reichen Wiesenbauer macht die Trockenzeit nichts aus, sein Wiesenland ist ein Sumpfgebiet.
