Eadlyn Ragnarsdottir, the biological sister of Uhtred of Bebbanburg. Taken from her home by Danes when she was just a child, Eadlyn and her brother find their place amongst their new family. They were taught to fight with the sword, to hunt, to shoot arrows, to ride; they were taught the Dane's way of life. And soon enough, it was their way of life. Eadlyn had found herself learning from young Ragnar, who taught her all he knew about sword fighting and battle. She looked up to him. "I wish to be like you someday," she would say. But when their new home gets attacked and their found family murdered, Eadlyn, Uhtred, and their friend Brida, must run. Eadlyn must find her way in the world once more, and this time, she fears she may not have Ragnar to help her on her way.
