Synopsis

Eighteen-year-old Ingrid Tirsdatter is a shieldmaiden—a Viking warrior tasked with protecting her clan while upholding their virtues of honor, valor, and total domination. She's one-hundred-percent focused on climbing the shieldmaiden ranks, and not at all focused on Axel Andersson—the overly confident and unnaturally good-looking warrior who saved her life exactly one time . . . and hasn't let her forget it.

When an unparalleled enemy threatens Ingrid's clan, she vows to do everything in her power to protect her home. But saving Valkyris will require her to travel one thousand years into the future, join an elite Southern California sorority, capture a magic-wielding psychopath . . . and not fall for the one warrior in all the realms who could be her undoing. Ingrid's new assignment is a nightmare in the making, but she's determined to do her clan proud. After all, she's a shieldmaiden.

And shieldmaidens never back down.

About S. T. Bende

Before finding domestic bliss in suburbia, S. T. Bende lived in Manhattan Beach (where she became overly fond of Peet's Coffee) and studied Shakespeare in Europe . . . where she became overly fond of McVitie's cookies.

Her love of Scandinavian culture, and a very patient Norwegian teacher, inspired her YA Norse fantasy series (Viking Academy, Ære Saga, Elsker Saga, and Alfheim Academy). And her deep love of a galaxy far, far away led to her writing children's books for the Star Wars franchise. As an experienced IP writer, she's written multiple books published by Disney-Lucasfilm Press and its licensees, and looks to expand into additional beloved IP projects.

When she's not creating stories, S. T. dreams of skiing on Jotunheim and Hoth.

4.5. This book has action, suspense, humor, and a hint of romance. If you liked Viking Academy, you’ll love Shieldmaiden Squadron.
