Heathen tells the story of Aydis, a Viking warrior banished from her clan for kissing a girl. She goes on a quest to free Brynhild, a Valkyrie imprisoned by Odin. Only the warrior worthy of her can cross the flames and free her. Aydis is a worthy warrior, but freeing Brynhild is not the end of her adventures. This was a fantastic adventure story set in the Viking world. Aydis is an awesome hero and I can't wait to read more of her adventures.
