Skadi's world is shattered when an empire razes her home. Fleeing to her uncle's remote stronghold on the dreaded Draugr Coast, she vows to become a shieldmaiden and avenge her kin.

I've managed to survive my first week in Euphoria Online. But I couldn't have done it without my new friends. Lotharia. Falkon. The Green Liver goblins. But now Lotharia's gone missing. Swallowed by that nightmare keep. Lost to the darkness. Everyone's telling me that going after her is madness. That I don't have a chance in hell. But I'm not the kind of guy to turn my back on my friends. Damn the odds. I'm going to find her.

On the desolate Draugr Coast, Skadi’s name has become legend—giantslayer, shieldmaiden, wyrd weaver, and jarl’s daughter. She has conquered all who stood in her path.
