Dragonslayer’s Valkyrie: The Legend of Sigurd and Brynhildr by Jennifer Ivy Walker is book one in the Viking Dragonslayers series. As the story begins, Sigurd is going through an induction into the Sea Wolves, while Brynhildr is set on controlling her own future. Things become much bigger involving Valkyries, prophecy, political alliances, dragon-slaying, and manipulating fate. After his father is murdered, Sigurd wants vengeance and sees King Álfr’s gifted dragon ship Úlfdreki as a tool for that. The stakes get deeper through the Sólhjarta Tournament, especially as Sigurd’s and Brynhildr’s attraction grows. The scope of the narrative expands dramatically when Brynhildr becomes a Valkyrie, foresees the future, and alters fate, and Sigurd fulfills a prophecy.
