A Shield Maidens EarlBOOK #1 Freya: Born of seers and Vikings of old, I never could have imagined my father someday ordering me to hand over my shield and blade to the man he made me wed. Nor could I have fathomed that man would be Earl Soren Dahl. A warrior chieftain who has long wanted me. When he arrives on my shores to claim me, I expect to despise him, yet he sets my blood afire. More telling, my mystical talisman claims we are fated. Soren: When I first laid eyes on Freya Helvig, I knew she would be mine. Though it took years of making a name for myself and building my tribe into one of the most formidable in the Kingdom of Norway, I finally claimed her. Or at least I tried. My beautiful, feisty bride-to-be is a force to be reckoned with. Brought together and torn apart by King Hákon and the Battle of Largs, the beginning of the end of Norse rule over Scotland. Will Freya and Soren be lost to each other in the end? |
