Once celebrated as the realm's fiercest celestial valkyrie, Astrid retreated into alcoholic seclusion after a deceitful royal heir plundered credit for her battlefield triumphs, leaving her exiled and broke. Vowing never to raise steel for aristocratic nobles again, she spends her days in a rowdy frontier tavern. Her bitter retirement is disrupted when an apocalyptic army of reanimated corpses breaches the northern mountains.
Desperate to enlist her unmatched blade, Prince Finn tracks her down. Unlike his cowardly peers, Finn has carried an unspoken adoration for Astrid for a decade and willingly follows her into demonic hazards. As an ancient lich sovereign marches to extinguish civilization, Astrid must decide whether to forgive the kingdom that discarded her and embrace the warrior who never wavered.
