    About this ebook

    As a valkyrie, Tyra escorts the souls of Swedish soldiers who died in combat to Valhalla. In this twenty-first century, she barely works because Sweden has not been at war for a long, long time.

    When taking a soldier's soul to Valhalla, Tyra unwillingly talks to Loki when he seeks her out. Right then, she feels the call from another soul.

    Her turn for another calling should not have come that quickly, but off she goes despite her bad feeling.

    A great urban fantasy short story from Felicia Fredlund, author of the dark fantasy series Sorceress Islands.

      A long, sturdy wooden table took up most of the huge stone hall. The wooden benches along the table were filled with talking, laughing, and drinking men and women—some clad in furs and leathers, others in chainmail, a good many of them in blue-and-yellow Carolean uniform, and others in the modern soldier fatigues. Almost all of them was of Nordic descent and had the typical blond hair and pale skin.
