In The Viking Creed series, fourteen-year-old Runa Erikson doesn’t just play to win—she fights to survive. Living in exile near the North Pole and bound to an ancient Viking Creed, Runa is lured into the world’s most popular online battle game—secretly hijacked by NASA to test her for a high-risk space experiment. But what begins as a game explodes into a global race for survival.
A secret order known as Aquila is hunting her across land, sea, and space, convinced she holds the key to a prophecy buried within the Creed itself. As Arctic pirates close in on Earth’s most valuable treasure beneath her homeland, Runa must outsmart her enemies, betray her friends, and crack a code not entirely of this world—one, NASA believes, will decide Earth’s fate.
From the fjords of Svalbard to the Moon and beyond, this high-stakes YA quartet fuses eco-thriller, Norse myth, and speculative sci-fi into an unforgettable saga of courage, consequence, and Creed.
