More than eight years before the novel opens, Anne Elliot, then a lovely, thoughtful, warm-hearted 19 year old, accepted a proposal of marriage from the handsome young naval officer Frederick Wentworth. He was clever, confident, and ambitious, but poor and with no particular family connections to recommend him. Sir Walter, Anne's fatuous, snobbish father and her equally self-involved older sister Elizabeth were dissatisfied with her choice, maintaining that he was no match for an Elliot of Kellynch Hall, the family estate. Her older friend and mentor, Lady Russell, acting in place of Anne's late mother, persuaded her to break the engagement. Now 27 and still unmarried, Anne re-encounters her former love when his sister and brother-in-law, the Crofts, take out a lease on Kellynch. Wentworth is now a captain and wealthy from maritime victories in the Napoleonic wars. However, he has not forgiven Anne for rejecting him. While publicly declaring that he is ready to marry any suitable young woman who catches his fancy, he privately resolves that he is ready to become attached to any appealing young woman except for Anne Elliot.

Emma Woodhouse, aged 20 at the start of the novel, is a young, beautiful, witty, and privileged woman in Regency England. She lives on the fictional estate of Hartfield in Surrey in the village of Highbury with her elderly widowed father, a hypochondriac who is excessively concerned for the health and safety of his loved ones. Emma's friend and only critic is the gentlemanly George Knightley, her neighbour from the adjacent estate of Donwell, and the brother of her elder sister Isabella's husband, John. As the novel opens, Emma has just attended the wedding of Miss Taylor, her best friend and former governess. Having introduced Miss Taylor to her future husband, Mr. Weston, Emma takes credit for their marriage, and decides that she rather likes matchmaking.

Kalte Winde gepaart mit steiniger und bracher Landschaft konnte man im alten Dänemark antreffen. Bjorn Eirikson war dort als erstgeborener Sohn König Eiriks auf die Welt gekommen. Gemeinsam mit seinem Vater zog er auf gefährliche Raubzüge übers Meer nach England, zurück blieb meist nur Tod und Leid. Bjorn war der einzige der Wikinger, der kein Interesse am weiblichen Geschlecht hatte. Nicht weil er sie nicht begehrte, mehr wollte er frei und unabhängig sein. Auch noch Jahrhunderte nach seinem Tod sollen sich die Menschen an seinen Namen mit Ehrfurcht erinnern. Diesem Leben blieb er auch lange treu, bis er eines Tages eine junge Frau im Schnee fand. Mehr Tod als lebendig. Doch mit ihr kamen auch größere Feinde ins Land als Bjorn je geahnt hätte.

Werde eure Frau, reicht euch das nicht Weshalb-Weshalb habt Ihr mich gewählt? Warum nicht Arami? Warum ich? Ihr hasst mich doch" schluchzte ich und versuchte mich aus seinem Griff zu befreien. Vergeblichst! Er ließ mich nicht los. "Sssh..." er strich mir sanft eine Strähne aus dem Gesicht. "Ich hasse euch doch nicht Lady Mariko..." lachte er leise und küsste mich auf die Stirn. "Ich hasse euch nicht..." wiederholte er flüsternd und kam meinen Lippen gefährlich nah. "Ich wollte immer nur euch... nicht eure Schwester, seit dem Tag an dem ich euch das erste Mal sah fasziniert Ihr mich. Ich verspreche euch ich werde alles machen damit Ihr glücklich bei mir seit und nie wieder eure kostbaren Tränen vergießt" er küsste meine Wange. "Ihr sollt euch doch nicht vor mir fürchten" hauchte er grinsend gegen meine Lippen und drückte sich von mir weg. "Seit pünktlich fertig. Wir werden in drei Stunden aufbrechen" verkündete er und ging. * Erfährt mehr über Mariko und Lord Bradford.
