From the acclaimed author of the SUNDAY TIMES bestseller, Kate Heartfield, comes a captivating and lyrical retelling of one of Norse mythology's most revered epics. Brynhild, a Valkyrie, is the shieldmaiden of the Allfather, the chooser of the slain. However, her fate has taken a drastic turn as she finds herself exiled, powerless in her solitude. Gudrun, a princess of Burgundy, is a daughter of the Rhine, a prized possession of an invading king. Her fate intertwines with that of Attila, the brother of the king, who harbors ulterior motives and possesses a formidable dragon at his command. Amidst the songs to be sung, a third hero emerges: Sigurd, a warrior renowned for his sword, sharper than the new moon. As the legends unfold, these names are destined to be lovers, fated to be enemies. Yet, in the realm of Midgard, where truth and illusion intertwine, the truth may be far different from what is perceived.
Not all heroes possess the qualities of heroism, and not all monsters embody monstrousness. Within this intricate tapestry of myth and legend, Brynhild, the shieldmaiden, may discover that love holds the power to surpass even the most formidable weapons. As the story unfolds, the lines between love and hate, loyalty and betrayal, and heroism and treachery become blurred, challenging the very essence of what it means to be a hero.
Through vivid descriptions, rich imagery, and a captivating narrative, Kate Heartfield transports readers to the world of Brynhild, Gudrun, and Sigurd, where the fate of nations hangs in the balance, and the choices made by these extraordinary characters will shape the course of history. The Embroidered Book is a testament to the author's talent for weaving intricate stories that captivate the imagination and leave a lasting impact.
