Born Unto Mayhem. High Fire, #1

In an age of fear, when berserkers haunt the forests of Scandinavia, a new terror rises in the north... I'm sixteen this year, and my mother says I should marry soon.  Loki.  I'd already be married if any cheiftains' sons were man enough to have me. When I do find a husband though, I'll inherit the village of Borg, which as the Princess of Lofoten is my birthright.  We'll have several farms and command a fleet of viking ships.
I'll give birth to mighty warrior sons or a fierce shieldmaiden like myself. And perhaps one day, if it pleases the gods, I'll take my grandfather's place as the Jarl of Hålogaland. That's how things might have been - if my entire life hadn't been a lie. But now the secret's out. Even if I am the last to know. And the truth has awakened something ... something frightening within me. I've always had a temper.
There's enough young men with missing teeth who can attest to that. But this? This is different. This rage. This hunger. This intense thirst for blood. It's more than I can control. The worst part?  It all makes sense when I learn who my father really is.
