In the heart of the Viking world, where gods walk among men and destiny is forged in the heat of battle, Yggdrasil Ivarsdottir's tale is one of power, vengeance, and survival. Born the daughter of Ivar the Boneless, a feared warlord, and a shieldmaiden touched by Freya herself, Yggdrasil is no ordinary woman. Trained in both the brutal art of war and the mystical ways of the gods, she carries a fire within her that cannot be extinguished. When a raid goes horribly wrong and she is captured by Christian forces, Yggdrasil endures unimaginable torment. Yet, even in captivity, her spirit remains unbroken. Freed by a kind-hearted warrior, she is taken in by a new family-but the gods are not finished with her. As her past collides with her future, Yggdrasil's journey will intertwine with her brother bounded without blood-Uthred. The blood of warriors calls to her, and the path to vengeance is long and fraught with danger. From the icy shores of Norway to the heart of Saxon lands, Yggdrasil will carve her name into history, with the might of the gods behind her-and a heart that beats for those she loves, and those she will fight for. Prepare for a story where myth meets the bloodied fields of war, and destiny is written in the flames of battle. This is the saga of a warrior born of mortals and gods, whose name will echo through the ages.

"I am death." "You are my life."

Gracie Spaatz wanted just two things out of going to England-she wanted to get hitched as quickly as possible and be someone's wife, and she wanted to become an actress. Her father, General Spaatz, had other plans for her and sent her off to a women's college during the war. Visiting Thorpe Abbotts to see her sister Tatty always seemed like a good idea. The last thing that she expected was to come into contact with one John Brady-all whilst she was crying over her math homework. For her, it was love at first sight and she knew what she wanted. Enter their love letters and relationship in times of war and how they find their way back to one another through it all. Note that this is the first of an anthology.
