Viking Historical Romance
Oath of the Longest Night
Her father sold her for peace. She intends to name her own price.
When Ingirid Halfdansdottir is delivered north as a hostage to seal her father's truce, she walks into Jarl Eirik Blood-Axe's snowbound hall braced to be spent like a coin — the thaw to decide whether she leaves ransomed or stays a bride. She refuses every kindness as a trap. But when the first blizzard seals the longhouse, a rival kinsman contests Eirik's claim, and Eirik meets her not as chattel but as a partner in a hard bargain, Ingirid grasps the one truth her father never told her: the peace rests on her, and a thing everyone needs is a thing she can price.
Then word comes that her father means to break the truce and take her back by sword — making her ransom worthless and marriage her only shield against renewed slaughter. As want curdles into something neither of them planned, Ingirid must decide whether staying is truly her choice, or one more thing men have decided for her.
At the Yule oath-giving, she stops waiting to be spent or claimed — and binds herself to Eirik on her own word.
A fierce, snowbound Viking romance for readers of Harper St. George and Johanna Lindsey.
