Province of Scania, Kingdom of Denmark.
Sigrid, 12, is the daughter of the jarl, the village chieftain. Despite the grumbling of the more traditional villagers, she is preparing to fulfil her destiny: to succeed her father and become the first female jarl.
But that's without counting on the terrible curse that has befallen her village. For several weeks, the fishermen have been returning empty-handed... not a single fish! The thing meets, and the sentence is passed: to save the village, the jarl must be sacrificed to the gods, and Sigrid must be deprived of her inheritance.
Sigrid defies fate. She will bring back the fish and save her father and her village. With the help of her friend Kjari, she must defeat a dangerous kraken, right under the gods' noses.
