Discover the untold saga of how Ragnar Lothbrok rose not just as a warrior, but as a champion of those silenced by tradition.
While Norsemen sail est to raid in Rus and Estland (modern day Russia and Estonia), the women of Hordaland are forced back into the shadows, as they're condemned to tend to the farms and raise the children, their swords stripped from them by decree of the ruthless Jarl Hastein. Once proud shieldmaidens, they are now forgotten, their glory buried beneath the weight of patriarchal rule.
But when Ragnar Lothbrok uncovers the truth behind a shieldmaiden once punished and cast aside by Hastein, everything changes as Ragnar discovers a huge secret which will change the course of history forever...
