Oxspire has fallen as summer arrives, and the elves have little hope of surviving against the Viking invaders.
Because the Vikings aren't merely raiders. Aye, they're seasoned warriors, to be sure, but they also aren't exactly human.
They're berserkers, just as the great Ragnar Lodbrok had been.
The only hope the elves have to survive against the Viking hordes is if they can make peace with their long-time enemy, the dwarves.
Perhaps the elves empire will never be reforged.
Mayhap a new empire will be born.
Whichever the case, Frea will fight until her dying breath, even if she must fight against the one Viking who may have claimed her heart years ago.
