A heroine with a generous spirit, an unshakable will, and a dragon's fury, H. M. Long's "The Shield Maiden" is a captivating tale of courage and determination. Growing up hearing tales of her uncle, the great King Beowulf, Fryda's one desire is to become a shield maiden in her own right. However, a terrible childhood accident has left Fryda disabled, believing it has thwarted her dream of becoming a warrior-woman for good. Nonetheless, she feels an uncontrollable power begin to rise within herself.
Meanwhile, a great celebration of Beowulf's reign is underway, and Fryda's house is soon overrun with foreign kings and chieftains. Amidst the drunken revelry, a discovery is made that threatens the safety of Fryda's entire clan and her own life. Enraged, Fryda resolves to fight for her people, no matter the cost.
As she embarks on her journey, Fryda discovers that she is not the only one to feel the effects of the awakening dragon. Buried deep in her gilded lair, the dragon is drawn to Fryda's untamed power and is slowly awakening from a long, cursed sleep.
With the help of her newfound allies, Fryda must confront the dragon and protect her people from its wrath. She must harness her powers and use them to defeat the dragon and save her clan.
"The Shield Maiden" is a superb spellbinding story that shimmers with detail and a propulsive plot to match. It presents a side to the sagas we have never seen before, making it a fantastic fun and entrancing tale of power and peril. Ian Green praises it as "an entrancing story of power and peril, presenting a side to the sagas we have never seen before."
In conclusion, "The Shield Maiden" is a must-read for anyone who loves epic fantasy and heroic adventures. H. M. Long's captivating storytelling and vivid characters will leave readers eagerly anticipating the next installment in the series.
