Description

Sharon Emmerichs's debut novel reimagines Beowulf from a fresh perspective, focusing on Fryda, a young woman who longs to be a shield maiden. When a childhood accident leaves her unfit for battle, she discovers an unexpected power that will soon be put to the test.

A celebration of King Beowulf's fifty-year reign brings foreign lords and chieftains to the community, but not all their guests come with good intentions. Treachery is at play, and Fryda must gather her courage to fight for her people as a queen should. As she navigates this treacherous landscape, an ancient power awakens within her, threatening to upend everything.

With its propulsive plot and shimmering detail, Shield Maiden casts a compelling spell that draws the reader in. A heroine with a generous spirit, unshakeable will, and fierce determination emerges, ready to prove herself once and for all.
