Action-packed sequel to "The VIKINGS! Trilogy"
Forced to beg help from her former companions, the newest Valkyrie arrives at Castle Bristlen, the home of her only friends ... including her romantic rival. Before the Gates of Valhalla, Reginlief had surrendered her truest love, Karl, to return home and marry Eloise, with the understanding that, upon his death, Karl would return to her and remain in Valhalla forever. However, eight years had passed, and Reginlief is stunned to discover why Karl hadn't yet enjoyed his 'glorious death with a sword'; Eloise had born Karl three wonderful children, and Karl refuses to abandon his mortal life until his fatherly duties are complete.
Eloise is delighted to be rejoined with her mother, stolen from her when she was only a child, but upon learning that the Seer is missing, she acknowledges that her duty is to rescue him. Yet Eloise knows of Karl's deep affections for Reginlief, and in every situation forces herself into between her husband and his former and future lover.
Together with Karl's squires Nate and Phil, and pretty, young Sister Aspertine from the Abbey of St. Dunstay, they sail from England to Egypt to seek the hidden portal.
However, despite sailing up and down the Nile River, and crossing deadly deserts, finding the hidden entrance to the realms of the Egyptian Gods proves impossible. Captured by Alarika, a desert queen, the companions find themselves chased by an Army of Thieves.
Yet Alarika knows of the doorway they seek, and leads them through it into the infernal the lands of the Egyptian Gods ... where the slightest mistake will drop them all into eternal doom.
