    About this series

    Val Kyrie and her team are back, and this time they face their most formidable challenge yet. When a mysterious organization with seemingly limitless resources targets the Valkyrie team, they find themselves in the fight of their lives.

    With enemies around every corner and their lives on the line, the team must rely on their wits, skills, and each other to survive. But survival isn't the only thing on their minds.

    The organization's sinister plans threaten not only the team but also the world at large.

    Can Val and her crew uncover the truth and put a stop to the evil machinations before it's too late?

    As if the global stakes weren't high enough, Val must also confront her own personal demons. As the pressure mounts, she is forced to face the shadows of her past and confront the truth about herself and her destiny.

    In the ninth installment of the Valkyrie series, Val and her team will be pushed to their limits as they face a relentless enemy and grapple with the harsh reality of their line of work.

    Will they rise to the challenge or crumble under the weight of their responsibilities? Can Val and her team save the world and keep their family together?

      What would happen if Odin decided to get involved in Midgard again? Our world is tearing itself apart. The evil among us are ripping apart the very seams of today's society, using terrorism and blackmail to create chaos. Valerie Kearie, mead lover and history major, joins the mercenary company Viking, Inc. as a prospective business analyst. Her first mission is supposed to be a cakewalk. Tracking down a digital terrorist known as CLEOPATRA, Valerie and her partner Jacob Pinkerton need to figure out the identity of the elusive mastermind and stop the attacks before they are killed for their efforts. Moving from one dangerous case to another, Valerie can't understand why she is loving the running and gunning aspect of her new job way more than any sane person should. Then there is the obscure historical knowledge that she shouldn't know . . . and yet. Valerie isn't a wallflower, but she is having difficulties coming to grips with the new abilities and odd thoughts that emerge as she is drawn deeper into her new reality. Can Valerie figure out why she is changing before she lands herself and Jacob in trouble too deep to escape?

      Worrying about a one-way ticket to the closest psych ward wasn't supposed to be a concern when Valerie Kearie changed jobs. She traveled across the ocean, almost died on a routine assignment, and kicked ass . . . with the help of a Valkyrie spirit sent by Odin. How could her life get any crazier? Not a question she has time to ask when her company and her partner never slow down. Viking Inc. and the Jarls need Valerie and Jacob to stay on the job. Valerie must juggle work and continuing to figure out her working relationship with the entity known as Reginlief. The spirit won't take her body over against her will, will it? The Terrorists don't know or care about Valerie and Jacob. For the partners to win, they have to figure out the game first and then the rules. Which works for Valerie . . . until it's time to toss out the rulebook and take matters into her own hands. Can Valerie handle the changes going on inside her as her life spirals out of control? Can she help those who need a protector without divulging her secrets? When the Chooser of the Slain is on the battlefield, everyone needs to keep their heads down.

      The Viking job has to get easier in time, right? That's wishful thinking on Valerie's part. The Jarls keep dropping her and Jacob into problems it would take Heimdall's foresight to unravel. Someone is messing with an inexplicable list of companies right here in America. Their connection is unclear, but Valerie sees Cleopatra behind every move. When will it stop? Is her enemy renting space in her head for free? It's becoming obvious that Jacob is starting to worry about his partner. Is it in a good way, or a 'time for the straitjacket' way? While Val appreciates his concern, how will she deal with him if it comes to that? Val isn't the only one with an enemy taking up every waking thought. Cleopatra has decided that the best defense is a good offense, and she knows who to use as bait. Val will do whatever it takes to save this person, even piss off a God. Can Valerie deal with Cleopatra's latest attack? When the Chooser of the Slain is on a rampage, everyone needs to keep their heads down.
