The Bride of the North

A Viking saga of love and betrayal

By order of the king, Brynhild Hendriksen must marry a man she does not love. The arranged marriage is intended to bring peace between the Danish and Norwegian territories, a peace that has been hanging by a thread ever since Harald I Bluetooth converted to Christianity and began forcing his Scandinavian ally to also renounce the Norse gods. Brynhild is willing to accept the sovereign's will, even though her heart belongs to another man. A foreigner from the land of ancient enemies is not a suitable husband for a chieftain's daughter. Moreover, the Scottish nobleman Evander Brodie of Sumburgh desires only one thing—to avenge the death of his beloved wife. But the beautiful islander who crosses his path changes everything.
