Wolf Kissed (Luna Marked Book 1)

Product Information

Eivor reported to Alfred and Goodwin at The Nun's Minster. After watching an exchange between Alfred and a young girl, the king mentioned that Eivor had caused chaos in Wincestre. The three then discussed Eivor's next target, the Quill. Goodwin mentioned that the Quill had been reaching out to the children of the city. Alfred and Goodwin then left, and Eivor noticed the young girl that had been with Alfred moments before. After speaking with her, Eivor followed the child to a nearby area with several other children. Eivor found a boy being questioned by a guard. Eivor dealt with the guard and spoke with the boy, who had been stealing apples. Eivor asked the boy about the Quill, and was recommended to find Aelwyn and Wigbert. [169] In Glowecestre, Eivor eliminated Eanbhert, whom she had found off a clue from Hunta. The clue off of Eanbhert led the shieldmaiden to Quatford, where she assassinated another Ancient named Tata as he stood by the stables of the town. Tata's death gave Eivor a clue to her next target, which she followed to Ledecestre and Cweornric before arriving at Repton, where she located and assassinated her target, a woman named Gunilla. Eivor turned her attention the the last member of the Wardens of Law, the Maegester Reeve Derby. Eivor traveled northward to Picheringa and assassinated the leader of the Wardens of Law, ending their activities. [180] With the four armor pieces, as well as the cape that she had recieved from Hytham previously, Eivor was able to lift and collect the mythical Mjölnir in Norway, in between Goinnhellir and the Ulvannos Iron Mine. [3] Finding Excalibur [ ] By 877, Hytham received another letter from "the Poor Fellow Soldier of Christ," the same moniker that had been present in Jorvik and Lunden. Eivor met with Hytham and discussed this letter before she went to speak with Randvi, who gave her more insight on Wincestre, a full Saxon city that would be dangerous to the Vikings. Eivor proceeded to Wincestre with caution. [166] Eivor and Sigurd participated in a raid led by Rolf along northern coast of Norway. It was the first time Styrbjorn let them raid so far from home. [10]

Afterwards, Eivor spoke with Sigurd and the two reminisced on their past adventures before Sigurd eventually made Eivor the jarlskona of the Raven Clan before making the decision on whether or not he wanted to return to Ravensthorpe or stay in Norway. [174] After the conversation, Vili rallied up his men and spoke with Eivor briefly, both missing one another. The two then started up the hill towards Ulkerthorpe as Hemming rallied the men. After battling the Pictish warriors on the ground, Eivor climbed up the tallest tower of the fort and battled against the Pictish Chief Gede. Eivor defeated Gede and lifted up his spear, signifying the end of the battle. [9]Eivor was born in 847, [1] dubbed as the plague year, to Rosta and Varin at the residence of Ímair, Rosta's brother who had provided them shelter after they had been turned away from the homes of various fellow Norsefolk. Eivor's birth was also witnessed by her older cousin and Ímair's son Bárid, whom she grew up with, until Ímair's family migrated to Dublin in Ireland. [2] She then approached the settlement's longhouse, where jarl Harald hosted the assembly of the Norse clans. In the town tavern, she met Sigurd and Basim. Seeing that Gorm and the Wolf Clan were in the tavern, Sigurd explained to her that Harald had made a truce permitting the clans to be there. As Gorm and his clanmates left the place, Sigurd tasked Basim to keep Eivor in the tavern while he would see their father. [26] Arriving in Evreux, Eivor caught wind of a church service led by Euphrasia, also known as "Little Mother." However, due to the nun's sermon, Eivor detected that the nun knew more about Richardis' current location. Although the nun left, she investigated the town and spoke to parishioners, only to learn of Aquila's deliverances. [224] Eivor also traveled to Little Mother's House on the words of a soldier and found out that Little Mother belonged to the same group that Engelwin was part of and that she kidnapped the Queen. [225] Awakening from the dream, Valka explained to her the events she encountered. The volva deduced that what Eivor saw were prophetic visions of her future betrayal of her brother, which Eivor refused to believe, suggesting that fate can be altered. Having received Valka's words, Eivor left the house, conflicted over what she had learned. [20] At the coronation, Eivor found Faravid and Halfdan speaking outside. Eivor led them inside and attended the ceremony, where she spoke with her allies including Moira, Hjorr and Ljufvina, and Faravid, before the coronation began. Eivor shared a drink with Faravid and then watched as Halfdan announced his newest allies, the Raven Clan. However, Halfdan broke into a coughing fit, dropping the goblet he was drinking from. Detecting lead, Halfdan instantly accused Faravid. Faravid drew his sword and prepared to fight, though Eivor stepped before him. The two clashed and after a lengthy fight, Eivor defeated her former friend and brought him to Halfdan, who used his hammer to crush his skull and execute him, albeit showing signs of remorse. After the coronation, Halfdan gifted Eivor an arm band signifying their alliance. [147]

Eivor eventually joined Erke, Stowe, and Ljufvina at Forward Camp, a Saxon camp which they planned to conquer. Stowe advised to allow himself to speak with the Saxon soldiers, who were Christian, to attempt to avert them and avoid bloodshed. Eivor watched as Stowe spoke with the Saxon soldiers, successfully convincing a select few soldiers to leave King Alfred and join Stowe and Erke in Lunden, where they would provide new economic opportunities. Intrigued by Stowe's offer, several soldiers left, making the fight against the remaining soldiers easier. [124] At the north gates of Lunden, Eivor met Stowe, one of the two reeves of Lunden, who was occupied with trying to calm down a rallied crowd. Eivor asked Stowe of Tryggr, the governor of the city, though the conversation was interrupted by a Norse thug working for a man named Avgos. Eivor threw the thug aside before being approached by another, larger thug. Stowe kneed the thug in the groin and a brawl broke out, with Eivor and Stowe facing off against more thugs. After defeating them, Stowe complimented Eivor's fighting and led him to Tryggr. [74] After dealing with both the quarry and the outpost, Eivor, Ivarr, and Ceolbert turned their heads to Wesberie and Rhodri's captain Ynyr. After a short discussion, the three entered Wesberie and burned several cottages in the village, successfully attracting the attention of the Briton captain. Ynyr lead a garrison of soldiers to the trio. After the battle, Ynyr's soldiers were slaughtered and Ynyr himself was eventually killed after a battle with Eivor. After looting Ynyr's Cadfarch Spear and killing the rest of the captian's men, Eivor reunited with Ceolbert and Ivarr on the edge of the town. Ivarr insisted on taking revenge on Rhodri himself, though Eivor reminded her friend that they only battled for peace. [86] Eivor arrived at Saint Hadrian's Priory and met Basim, who was in the middle of a conversation with a priest named Hortbert. Eivor listened as the two argued over Christianity, including Christ, the sins of Adam and Eve, free will, and more. Another priest named Cedric joined the conversation and the two priests got carried away with each other. Basim revealed to Eivor that he was trying to gain information from Christians, who might know of Fulke. He also spoke of an abbot named Cynebert, who he had befriended. Basim led his friend to Cynebert, who had met and drank with Fulke less then a month prior. Cynebert had requested Eivor to perform one favor in exchange for information. King Alfred had recently appointed a new ealdorman after the death of Cent's old ealdorman Deogal, and Cynebert wanted to know who the new leader would be prior to the public knowing. Hoping Eivor would help him, Cynebert directed the viking to Tonbridge Monastery, where the king's emissary had stayed. [97] During the winter of 876, Eivor spoke with Randvi of an alliance in Snotinghamscire. Randvi told Eivor that she had been invited to the shire by Vili, whom she had not seen in a decade. Knowing that Vili's father Hemming would being a useful ally, Eivor pledged her allegiance to Snotinghamscire and traveled to Snotingham to gain an alliance with Hemming and his cla, Clan Hemmingsons.. [9]When Eivor returned to Vagn, she spoke of success in River Rhine. Vagn warned her that the rives she had previously raided had grown aware of her and raised their defense levels, including the addition of various River Champions hunting her down. Having already defeated three River Champions, Eivor set off to eliminate the others, though not before being handed a note from Vagn, written from one of the River Champions threatening her. [243] The location had been overrun by Saxon bandits, though Eivor, Sigurd, and Dag made short work of them. Searching the encampment, the trio discovered two prisoners of the bandits: Yanli, a Chinese merchant, and Rowan, a Saxon stable hand. When Eivor freed them, the two revealed that they were sent by Halfdan Ragnarsson to work with the Sons of Ragnar, but by the time they arrived, they were long gone. Once given the choice to stay with the Raven clan, the two accepted. A horn then sounded, heralding the arrival of the rest of the longships led by Randvi. Eivor and her clan then unloaded all their gear and began to renovate the dilapidated longhouse. [29]

At the fight, Eivor and her remaining friends fought against the Saxon soldiers, eventually defeating them all and rising victorious. Eivor spoke with Ubba and Soma briefly after the fight before bidding farewell to them, alongside her other allies that had arrived, including Hunwald, Bishop Deorlaf, Ljufvina, and Birstan, before returning home to Ravensthorpe. [128] She eventually arrived at Steinnhus Camp, which she successfully infiltrated and eradicated, finding a carbon ingot and a note mentioning three of Gorm's other camps. Eivor moved on to Brúhamarr Outpost, northwest of Steinnhus, where she found another carbon ingot, as well as another note directing her to Hvallgrof Outpost. Eivor soon repeated the same process at Hvallgrof, eventually walking away with a carbon ingot and the last clue to Gorm's location- Narfljot Camp. [134] Eivor traveled to Athelnay, where she found and spoke to one of the villagers, who told her to pass time as she waited for her mysterious friend. Eivor went to a nearby tree and napped, though was later awoken by a conversation between a woman and man, who happened to be none other than Alfred the Great himself. [182] Eivor spoke with the village leaders Konwahawíhshon and Karonhiaktátie'. Neither parties knew the other's mother tongue, which prevented vocal communication between the two. Sýnin perched on Eivor's arm, astounding the two tribal leaders. Konwahawíhshon then left and led Eivor to Olav, whom had taken residence in the village in a cave behind a waterfall. Eivor mentioned she was searching for Gorm, leading Olav to express his dislike for Gorm before explaining how and why he had escaped Gorm's settlement. Eivor followed Olav out of the waterfall as she gained more intel on Gorm, who had possessed a Crystal Ball to find " the door to Jotunheim." Olav spotted smoke rising from the Steinnhus Camp, one of Gorm's establishments. Before striking, however, Eivor was gifted leather and copper from Olav to help trade with the local villagers for better gear. [133]Arriving at Repton, the Vikings ran into the city as the Mercians already breached the main gate of the city. During the fight, Eivor saw Ceolbert dueling Leofrith. Knowing that the young man wasn't strong enough, Eivor intervened fighting personally Leofrith. After being defeated, Leofrith asked Eivor to kill as Burgred was no more on the throne. Eivor then returned to the vision state, where Odin advised her to respect Leofrith's choice, even if Eivor thought that the Mercian must know that his king betrayed him. After deciding Leofrith's fate, Eivor met Ceolbert, congratulating him for his courage during the fight. [54]

In River Severn, Eivor found and defeated England's Champion of the Faith. Upon defeating the champion ad her two body guards at Northern Monastery, Eivor claimed Rollo's Lost Dane Axe, a Dane Axe belonging to her friend Rollo. [244] In River Berbha, Eivor sought two druid siblings that held the title of Ireland's Champions of the Faith. After defeating them at Festering Valley, she claimed the Celtic Crusher. [245] Lastly, Eivor battled Francia's Champion of the Faith in Ferrières on the Rhine, and in doing so recieved Sir Gareth's Holy Sword, completing her collection of River Champion artifacts. [246] A Fated Encounter [ ] Meeting Edyt [ ]

Shop History (10)

Eivor seems to possess some fragments of Odin's persona and memories. As is evident by their shared disdain for wolves, and how she recognised Odin's spear Gungnir when she discovered it within Goinnhellir. Eivor spoke with Acha before agreeing to attend the shiremoot. Acha explained the rules of the vote to Eivor, and that it was up to Eivor to cast a tiebreaker. She spoke to various figures around the house, including Ceolwulf's attendant, Lord Earconbert, Grim, and the three candidates, Hunwald, Aelfgar, and Herefrith, before making her way to the poll. Odin appeared once again beside her, advising her to choose only for herself. After considering each candidate, Eivor casted her vote. Acha announced Lincolnshire's next ealdorman. [115] Assault on Anecastre [ ] A year following the transpired events, now jarlskona of her clan, Eivor was invited to Dublin by Bárid mac Ímair, her maternal cousin. There, she helped Bárid secure his throne through an alliance with the recently crowned Flann Sinna, High King of Ireland. She also fought against the Children of Danu, a druidic cult that sought to prevent the Norse and Christian faiths from replacing their own. Born to nobles Rosta and Varin, who pledged allegiance to jarl Styrbjorn Sigvaldisson of the Raven Clan, Eivor was adopted into Styrbjorn's house following her parents' deaths during a raid on Heillboer by Kjotve the Cruel and the Wolf Clan. Raised alongside Styrbjorn's son Sigurd, Eivor spent much of her youth seeking to gain glory and eliminate Kjotve to avenge her parents.
