"THE BATTLE IS MY HOME, AND IF I'M TO REST ANYWHERE, IT'LL BE MY BONES SETTLING UNDER THE EARTH OF THIS CITY...

"...WHILE MY SOUL SOARS TO VALHALLA."

In this sixth collection of NORTHLANDERS, writer Brian Wood continues to subvert the genre and deliver stories set in the Viking Age that are engaging, timeless and deeply relatable.

THE HUNT, illustrated by Matthew Woodson, is the story of a solitary hunter tracking a single deer across endless kilometers of frozen wilderness. That far from home, this close to death, what happens when these two opposing forces run out of land, on the shores of the Arctic Ocean?

With THE SIEGE OF PARIS, Wood and artist Simon Gane explore the story of the same, where a massive Viking army ground to a halt at the walls of the medieval city of Paris. Looking through the eyes of a simple warrior, the tale evokes desperation in the trenches and the absurdity of waging a pointless war.

The title story, THOR'S DAUGHTER, is the heartbreaking tale of a newly orphaned teenaged girl living in the wild islands of the North Sea. With her warlord father deceased and her next of kin a thousand miles away, rivals move in and lay claim to what is her birthright. Young Birna Thorsdottir is forced to grow up too soon and become her father's daughter.
