Viking Historical Romance · The Sworn Sagas

Until the Ice Breaks

She ran from a marriage that pays for a killing. The woman sent to bring her back is the one who did the killing, and she doesn't know it.

At Winter Nights, Alfdis Thorkelsdottir flees in her bride-finery rather than become the third wife of a hard old jarl who has already buried two. Hallveig, the sworn sword of her uncle's hearth, is sent after her with an oath on the ring to bring her home by the spring Thing. She catches her at a lonely ferry-stead on a frozen sound as the first great blizzard shuts the crossing until the thaw.

Alfdis won't give her word. Hallveig won't take her eyes off her. All winter they fight under one roof, and the fight turns into wanting before either of them has forgiven the other. Then Alfdis tells her the truth about the debt, and Hallveig has to see what her obedience has been buying.

When the ice starts to break, the jarl's men cross the sound for the bride. Hallveig can keep her oath, or she can pay her own debt.

A full-length, open-door sapphic Viking romance with a hard-won HEA. Perfect for fans of Genevieve Gornichec and Nicola Griffith.
