Dyrfinna only wants to mourn her friend Thora, the Queen's daughter, who died after she visited her husband-to-be, King Varinn. But when, after her burial, Thora walks into the Queen's banquet hall and starts killing men, all Hel breaks loose. Only Dyrfinna is able to return her dead friend to her eternal rest -- but not before hearing a terrifying story from her lips. The only recourse for this terrifying deed is revenge. Dyrfinna is more than ready. THE FLAME OF BATTLE will be the first book in a seven-book series featuring Vikings, dragons, and revenants, and a war that will consume the world.
