Peacock Lavine is an enigma making waves in London with her uncanny ability to empower the disenfranchised of society while also gaining influence among the social elite. She is herself disenfranchised, from the Icelandic compound where she was raised to be one of Odin’s Valkyrie–immortal Swan Maidens who weave Fate on ancient looms. Valkyrie also fly their Faxi (cloud horses) onto mortal battlefields to recruit the bravest warriors for death and an afterlife as heroes called Einherjar. The Einherjar get to battle and feast in Odin’s great palace Valhalla in preparation for the great immortal battle of Ragnarok, and Valkyrie get to serve them mead. Forever. But Peacock Lavine, or Valkyrie Kára as she was first known, developed differently than her fellow Valkyrie, propelling her into a series of choices about how she will survive exile from Odin’s realm, live as an immortal among mortals, and discover a use for her blossoming identity as a very different type of Valkyrie. Her adventures among London’s low- and high-society lead her to confront mortal conventions as well as what is possible for her as an immortal, as her unusual ideas pitch her into a rollick and tussle against the mortal and immortal forces that would keep her powerless against something she is still struggling to believe in. Her own immortal Fate!
