✦ Synopsis
ICELAND, 979 AD: A GOOD MAN, TRAPPED. A WOMAN IN DANGER.
Two brave people bound by ideals—but torn apart by a terrible secret
Kel Coesson does despicable things for his chieftain, and he’s at a breaking point. But if he dares to defy the chieftain, Kel’s only love--the shieldmaiden and healer Aldís--will be brutally killed.
When an enslaved man from distant Morocco speaks about a mysterious Third Way, Kel starts down the path of treason--and Aldís senses an unseen presence calling her to the place she vowed never to return: the Law Rock high over the sweeping plains of Althing.
“We have things to discuss.” Aldís glared. “And you can’t answer my questions if you’re dead.”
A stunning cast of characters—the secretive agent of a foreign jarl, a terrified young monk, a spoiled, bloodthirsty girl, a bishop eager to convert pagans, a brutal chieftain who craves power no matter the price—bring medieval Iceland to vibrant, tempestuous life.
Set in the pagan land of fire and ice and the midnight sun, this novel is the first of a sweeping series: a Viking saga of Icelandic fiction.
