Brianna and her sister Fiona have been reunited at last and are now living amongst the Vikings. However, Fiona is still haunted by her recent trauma at the hands of her captors, which is manifested in the form of a recurring nightmare in which the Scottish lass is sexually tormented by the dark witch and her pet Hellhounds. Brianna, who has been assigned work in the Viking armoury, begins taking an interest in weaponry and the art of warfare... a first step on her path to becoming a shieldmaiden!
Harking back to an earlier time, we get a glimpse into Kleeah's past, during which we learn more about how the sorceress joined Eirik's crew and we also meet a blind, sensuous sword dancer who may hold the key to unlocking the meaning behind Brianna's eerie visions...
