Breaking the Chains: A Chronicles of Asgard Novella

by Laura Brewer

Thersa and Nidrean are sent by the king to the Academy in a foreign land, to punish their mother for the forbidden things she had been teaching them. Raised in the confines of the women’s quarters, where abuse was common, poorly educated, and entirely unfamiliar with the outside world, the young sisters find themselves in a place with customs so different they’re incomprehensible. They’re expected to work alongside boys, wear armor, and learn the sword!

One thing gives them the courage and determination to learn, to survive. This could be an open door to freedom – if they can find a way to stay.

About the author

Where to start? I'm just a writer living tucked away in Mississippi with my husband and son. I write Science Fiction and Fantasy. All of us enjoy doing outdoor things, often in all weathers and followed by an assortment of animals. I love to read, grow my own herbs, and experimenting with new recipes. I am an experienced herder of cats.

This was a great introduction to the story. It was interesting to see how the sisters… adjusted to life in a new world. My only complaint about the short story is because it was just that… however I shall be assuaged by looking up the others in the series. If you like Asgaardian type stories, this is the jam for you!
