When Torhild returns home after a two year long training as shieldmaiden she finds out that everything is changed. Not only is her mother queen of Kattegat, also the whole village growed. Some friends are dead, others not around. But their are always Ragnarsons and especially Ivar needs some extra attention, what only brings them both more together.

It's Eva's 18th birthday and she is making her birthday wish count. On her birthday she wishes that she would find something that would challenge her to become her best self, something that she will hate at the start but love in the end. Something that will teach her a life time of knowledge. Or even someone who will turn her cold heart into something of worth. Little does she know that the gods are listening to her, and send her her wish in the form of a man named 'Ivar the boneless'.

Steena grew up with Ivar, she loved him her whole life. When her life is turned upside down, she can express her feelings for him.
