When she spurns a powerful warlord, he attacks, killing her father and brother and taking her captive. To save her surviving people, Åsa must wed the murderer. To wreak vengeance, she must bide her time while secretly mastering the warrior's craft and the dark mysteries of sorcery.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"<em>The Norse Queen</em> brims with action in a world both exhilarating and terrifying, peopled with sorceresses, warring jarls, and even shape-shifters. In its tale of one woman's steadfast courage in the face of tragedy, it gives life and breath to a long-forgotten 9<sup>th</sup> century queen."</p><p>--Patricia Bracewell, Author of <em>Shadow on the Crown</em> and <em>The Price of Blood</em></p><p><br></p><p>"A journey back into the heart and soul of ancient Viking realms. Queen Åsa of Tromøy, a true historical figure almost lost in the mists of time, returns to vivid life in <em>The Norse Queen</em>. Step inside a Scandinavian saga in all its richness. If you love <em>Beowulf</em> you will also love <em>The Norse Queen.</em>" -Margaret George, NYT Bestselling Author</p><p><br></p><p><em>"The Norse Queen</em> is an absorbing tale of sacrifice and courage. Åsa is a strong, intelligent woman who'd envisioned becoming a Shield Maiden. She is a skilled warrior with a deep love for her family. The narrative switches between her and Olaf, a man who struggles to meet his father's impossible expectations. I was riveted to the pages as each character fought against the constraints Gudrod bound them both with. The characters are complex and compelling." --Editor's Choice, Historical Novels Review</p><p><br></p><br>
