“THIS BOOK!!! Wow. First let me say this is not a fantasy book, it is not an erotica, it is not a historical romance. This book is FIRE! It’s like that warm delicious soup you need when your temp is a 105 and you need your mommy. There’s something so comforting and delightful about it that just makes you feel so soul-happy. It has this beautiful world built from truth and historical fact then takes it and mixes the crap out of it and gives you this delightful blend of Viking romance, Scottish boyfriend, enemies-to-lovers, throw in some witches and warlocks, and just the right amount of spice. This book is a soup for the soul that is just absolutely delish! I read this book as an arc and I’m sharing this honest review with you because I want you to enjoy this just like I did. It’s a long read, yes, true. But take your time, enjoy it, savor it…and I promise you are going to want seconds. And please, keep your hands OFF Viggo!”

What would you do if the sea washed all your hopes away?

For Elin, the new Jarl of Bergen, leading her warriors on a successful raid should have cemented her rule – and embellish the saga of her younger sister Aino, her famed drengr and shield.

Losing the entire crew and their longship in a devastating storm, the shieldmaiden sisters shipwreck far away from the plentiful English shores they set out to pillage and lands them in the arms of the man who once broke Elin’s heart.

Halvar Bear-Bane knows he is their only hope of returning to their undefended home, but his price for safe passage may prove too steep for Elin’s pride as the powerful chief seeks her alliance for his grandiose plans.

Niall, the enigmatic laird of Shetland and Halvar’s newest ally, is fascinated by Aino – and the young shieldmaiden finds herself just as intrigued by the soft-spoken man, despite knowing she will have to leave him soon.

But the sisters quickly find their threads of fate tangled in tragedy; a curse has struck, forcing a desperate Aino to find the source before it claims Elin’s life.
