The Valkyrie Begins
The Valkyrie of Birca Series (a prequel)

Reviewed by Helen
I absolutely loved The Valkyrie of Birca series and was thrilled when the author put out a prequel before re-releasing this awesome series, it was fabulous getting to know Brenna from when she started her journey firstly to becoming a shieldmaiden then on to become who she is today The Queen of Birca and her relationship with her best friend Vali.
The seer has spoken she is destined to lead and heal the scars of her ancestors will the Gods be correct in their prophecy for what will happen with Brenna?
This story is just fabulous as is the series learning about The Vikings and their beliefs, the strength they carry and the deep love they share with each other, Tanya Nellestein has researched very well and brings the Vikings way to life on the pages, a must read, one that I highly recommend.
