"Our whole lives are just stories."     - Lagertha

Siggy and Leif are no longer young and energetic as they used to be. Now that they have a place and family of their own, raising their children has come before all things.

Brynjar is the oldest and is eager to go on his first raid.  He is strong and skilled with the shield. Practicing with his father since he was a child, Brynjar feels more than ready to prove he can be legendary like his parents and ancestors. 

Oydis is the youngest and doesn't want to fight. She is clever and imaginative. Her curiosity steers her towards different cultures and places. She wants to sail the world and explore the knowledge of others.

Both children want to leave Kattegat. However, their parents don't think they're quite ready. Too anxious and impulsive to think things through, the son and daughter of Siggy and Leif sneak onto a raid and sail to new lands. However, their adventure turns around and they find themselves farther from home than they expected. Frightened and unsure of what to do, Brynjar and Oydis must stick together and find a way to get back to their parents before things get worse.

Sequel to Siggy the Shieldmaiden!

"I've been waiting for you" his voice was coarse. I casually took a seat in front of him. "What is it you see? What do the gods have planned for me?" "First what in particular do you want to know?" I straightened my back and cleared my throat. "I, along with many other women, have always wanted to be a shieldmaiden like Lagertha. However, I realize I don't want to be my grandmother. I want to be a famous warrior like her. But I want to know if my name will be remembered?" The Seer was silent as he nodded his head. "You have honored your people with your success in Wessex. The gods smile upon you. However, you will come face to face with a missing part of your past. Your soul will face anger but also acceptance." There was a moment of silence between us. * * * * "The gods will always smile on brave women, like the Valkyries whose furies men fear and desire." - Seer Siggy is the daughter of Björn Ironside (the son of King Ragnar Lothbrok and the shield maiden Lagertha) and Porunn, a former slave. She was named after Earl Haraldson's wife (also Rollo's lover), who gave her life to save Ragnar's sons. Siggy is tenacious and daring. She has always had a strong bond with her father, since she never knew her mother and grew up learning how to fight from Björn and her grandmother, Lagertha. Her dream is to become a shieldmaiden and raid with her family. However, Siggy must face the obstacles of love and her heart breaking past to settle some family complications in order to make her dream a reality. [COMPLETED]
