Sisters have died. Treaties shattered. Homes lay in ruin. Generations of struggle and successes wiped away. The Sisterhood is fractured and rife with distrust. In the wake of so much fighting, the Sisters of Helsvern have lost what they most cherished.
Their place in the world, their right to survive, and their traditions come into question as the Helgrindes struggle to reclaim all that was lost…
Karen is a Minneapolis author. The long Minnesota winters taught her the value of a good story. Growing up on authors like Piers Anthony and Ursula K LeGuin she developed an interest in Science Fiction and Fantasy that has shaped her writing today. Throughout her life, Karen has had a small handful of adventures that help her craft the stories she writes, ranging from her time abroad, to becoming a mother, or her years spent as an Army Officer, working on a mass casualty response force, and her time in cybersecurity. Always on the hunt for strong female leads, Karen decided to write some of her own leading to the Warriors of Helsvern series. THE GOLDEN VALIA is her debut novel and the first book in the Warriors of Helsvern.
