Berserker and Ransacker make up a compact duology that sits apart from Laybourne’s other work. Where Monument 14 is grounded in contemporary reality and Sweet is a thriller, these books are straightforward YA fantasy with a Norse setting and a protagonist working through what it means to carry a power that is as dangerous to herself as to anyone threatening her.
The two-book structure gives the story room to develop without being stretched thin, and Laybourne keeps the pacing tight enough that neither volume feels padded.
