The Saga of The Birnings: Book One

Based on ancient Viking legends, it tells of ill-fated deeds of tragedy and strife in the land of men. Combines mythical tales and gritty human drama with extraordinary events, strange creatures, and fierce battles.

It starts with a love triangle of chieftain Bjarki,  a man of insatiable desires, who falls in love with Ingrid, a swain-maiden, and the despised queen Ylva, and that was kept concealed. Because of her unrequited love, Ylva plotted the destruction of both lovers. After being victorious, she frightens the land with her 'wolf-warriors,' and she slaughters her foes with her lycanthropic magic. But a mighty shield-maiden, Bera vows to stop the queen's endeavor and thus honor the death of her kinsman and brother, Bjarki. 

This book is the first novelette in a set of three books. If you like Vikings and Norse mythology, swords, and shapeshifting magic, you will enjoy this unforgettable story of never-ending revenge.
