A Viking named Arnbjorn StormBringer is born in the village of Drangar during a strange winter storm. His father sees his birth as the coming of some mystical new age, but the rest of the village thinks his father is crazy. As Arnbjorn gets older and his father dies in battle, Arnbjorn can't seem to shake his father's reputation. The village does not respect him, nor do they think he will be of any use to the village as a warrior.
One year on Arnbjorn's birthday, the village is attacked by a strange, horrifying creature and the chief is killed while trying to defend the village. The rest of the village believe Arnbjorn is the cause of the attack, so they send him into exile in the wilderness. Arnbjorn learns many things about survival and how to hunt, but he also learns that he is more than a man; he is also a Demi-God, a son of Thor.
While he is in exile, the village is attacked again by the strange creature, and this time, his mother is taken. An old friend finds him and tells him what has happened. Arnbjorn decides that he will slay the beast, save his mother, and earn a place back in the village.
Saving the life of the infamous rookie pirate, Captain Ruben Kirk, catapults Jessica Red into a sea of magic, jewel heists, and world-saving adventure.
