This book is now available on Amazon and unfortunately they won't allow me to put it up elsewhere for free, not even the unedited draft. Sorry! The Vikings! Aelswyn had heard about them, all the tales of their barbaric behaviour, the rapes and pillages, the massacres, the burnt villages. But she never thought they would dare to attack her father's stronghold. And that they would succeed...

Her life was all planned for her. Her future set out without her consent. Her silence was taken as acceptance, and her fear as innocence. All in the name of religion. Kiran Khan is a eighteen year old girl, raised under the shadow of an intimidating father, whose word is law. He has her married to a stranger she's never met, without her consent. Kiran, afraid of what will happen, keeps silent and tries to go with the flow. But the stranger she marries is not who she expected. And the future turns out to be different than planned.
