You have 3 main Viking tribes, The Bondevik tribe which is based on magic, but you also have the Køhler and Oxenstierna tribe, they are based on the strength of their men. The Køhler and the Bondevik tribe have an alliance which meant that the two soon to be tribe leaders are very close. Not far from the other two tribes is the Oxenstierna tribe. Berwald is the new leader of this tribe after his father became too old. The Oxenstierna tribe and the Køhler tribe have been enemies for as long as most can remember. Berwald's first plan is to drive Matthias [Denmark] and Lukas [Norway] away from each other so he can form an alliance with the Bondevik tribe and destroy the Køhler tribe.

76 parts Ongoing Mature
Complete! Hana is the daughter of a renowned healer in the raiding village of Srisset but she would much rather stab someone than mend them, she'd rather fight on the front line than stand behind it, and she'd much rather gut the Dorsi soldier who killed her sister than forgive and forget like Srisset's council commands. So when the offending court offers an arranged marriage between Hana and its prince to smooth things over between enemy realms, Hana doesn't wait for her mother, or the council, to respond. Instead, she embarks on a covert mission to suss out her sister's murderer and burn the country down from the inside. Yet for all her bravado, Hana quickly learns that bringing a country to its knees is not as easy as she thinks, the people we love are not always what they seem, and Hana may not be the hero she believes.
