Shieldmaiden Rouwenne

The story of Rouwennë, Hengest's daughter. As a tomboyish girl, fond of stories of shieldmaidens, she gets involved in a Viking raid led by her older brother. The raid goes wrong and her stepmother tries to teach her that her 'womanly weapons' have more power. She uses those weapons to bring down two kings of Britannia and to win her lover—a handsome dreng named Wulf.
