Valor, honor, courage. The core of every good citizen of Yggdrasil, a necessity for a Valkyrie. And utterly missing from my father.
She's a fighter. I watch her because she's fucking beautiful. I follow her because if anyone harms her I will burn them alive, for as long as I can. I need her… period.
Five courts, five ships, hidden from sight, Earth, Ice, Fire, Gold, and Shadow's might. Vessels of royalty, names unknown, Each a key to secrets grown. The Talekeeper's Vault, a trove untold, Its treasures locked, both new and old. But heed this warning, clear and true: No prize is yours till all doors undo.
