On the cold coast of northern Scandinavia, a princess awakens to a savage legacy-and is hunted by her own people.

My entire life has been a lie.

Princess of Lofoten, heiress of Borg, Jarl of Hålogaland one day-none of that is real.

The truth is … darker.

When I learn who I really am, it awakens something within me.

Something frightening.

Something violent.

I've always had a temper. There's enough young men with missing teeth who can attest to that.

But this is different.

This rage. This hunger. This intense thirst for blood.

I'm losing control-and people are dying.

Those who loved me now look at me with fear in their eyes.

They whisper about me. About my father. About the sword he left behind.

A cursed sword that demands bloodshed.

Tyrfing.
