Home - Book 8 - The Children of Ribe

The battle for Ribe is not over. Only one arm ring remains. The fate of the Danelands now rests on her shoulders. Can she find the last magical item in order to save her friends and family, or is it the end for them all?

Eva Axeldatter was raised as a warrior, and was mocked by all the other children for clinging to the old ways. But when an ancient prophecy was about to to be fulfilled, those that bullied and ridiculed are relying on her to save them from the darkness. Travelling with new friends and old enemies gave all she had endured growing up a purpose, and she did not intent to fail.  

But her path to finding her arm ring is far harder than those her friends walked. With her home under attack from not only their mortal enemies, but dark beasts from every realm, she must abandon the battlefield, and her friends in order to fulfill her destiny. However, there are even tougher choices ahead of her in the trial for the arm ring - trials that if she fails will mean the ruin of all.

Can Eva conquer her final trials to find the final arm ring of Yngvar and save the world, or will she be too late?
