"I am the middle woman. I am the nomad bound to a hearth, the hunter bound to a farm, the mother split down the middle, with one foot in marriage, one in magic. No man has named me, and yet I have a name. I balance a path with steep falls on both sides, and on that path I have come to bring you the strength of my lands and the riches of my shores. Do you accept my offerings?"
This is the second part of a story that started with Sister Bear. Kildevi has now left the homestead in Westmanland to follow her husband down the rivers of Rus to Miklagard, the Greatest Village on Midgard. On the way she will run into everything from talking lakes to pecheneg raiders, not to mention navigating a wifehood she was never raised for.
