Publisher's Synopsis
In the late years of the ninth century, the echoes of war still haunt the fjords of Norway.
Gita, a fierce Viking shieldmaiden, rescues a wounded stranger from a brutal master, setting in motion a story of healing, defiance-and unexpected love.
Gareth has survived cruelty no man should endure. Scarred but unbroken, he struggles to find a place in a wary village. As Gita offers him mercy, friendship, and freedom, both must confront old wounds and buried fears.
Together with Gita's adopted son, Tryg, they begin forging a new life and family. But dangers from across the sea and within their own walls threaten everything they've begun to build. Gita and Gareth must decide whether hope is worth the risks-and whether love can truly heal what was once broken.
Perfect for fans of historical romance, Viking legends, and stories of chosen family.
