Disclaimer; This is not your average high school story. This never was intended to and hopefully never will be. You always hear about the popular girl that dates the popular boy. And his friends that play some sport. And the queen bees minions. And the girl that seems to be average; just like us, but ends up just getting the guy they've been neighbors with since they were toddlers. But what about us? What about the people who don't go to school dances because they would rather be watching movies with a friend so they end up missing the big fight that took place. Or the ones who have the so called lame jobs that no cute girl wants to work at. What about the people who don't have cancer and don't fall in love with a boy who only has one organic leg. The ones who's story isn't as interesting to read. The 'extras' in the movie. The ones that don't have the happiest ending. Well let me tell you, we are interesting to read about. We are worth writing a novel about, and I hope and pray oh so dearly that you'll find this interesting enough to continue reading So that's what I'm going to do. My name is Cassie Drake and this is our story. (BOOK ONE OF ESSAY SERIES)

Born in a strange new world and raised as a Viking Warrior in another, Kata Haldorssdottir didn't fit in. Raiders change her life in a moment, though, when her father is struck down in front of her. Knowing his life is nearly at an end, Haldor Hakonsson remembers his long ago promise to Kata's mother, Summer Rain. He orders a ship and Kata embarks on a journey that turns her world upside down. Among her mother's people, she is expected to be meek and subservient, but that is not part of Kata's nature. She is different in all ways. The People are short and she is tall. Where they are dark, she is blonde. The women are soft, while she is a hardened warrior with the skills of a man. She does not know how to cook or sew, only to fight and hunt. Inadvertently, she draws the attention of Dark Hawk, a man whose only wish is to subdue her. Spurning his advances makes her a powerful enemy. When she is allowed by the village shaman, to become a warrior and hunter of the tribe, her enemy steps up his game. Only Running Deer, the son of Chief Soaring Eagle, and her staunch friend, Night Moon, stand by her side. The tribe mistrusts her as a stranger, and Day Star, as Kata is now called, must fight for her place among the People, or return home. https://www.amazon.com/Viking-Squaw-Domri-Stevens/dp/1499223196?ref=d6k_applink_bb_dls&dplnkId=e31e451a-7cb1-4bb2-a294-c1fc5e932fb0

Kata had become Star of Daylight, and next in line to be the head shaman of the tribes of The People. She had overcome adversity and found her niche among her mother's tribe; so much so, that she now claimed them as her own. She had married the man of her dreams, Running Deer, who treated her as if she were a queen, but something in her past continued to plague her and stand in her way. When she begins to have visions of her brother, she wonders if her business with Vander is truly finished. When a woman from her tribe, her best friend Night Moon, disappears without a trace, Star of Daylight sets out with Raging Bear, Night Moon's husband, Running Deer and several warriors to track her down. Their scouting skills lead them to the sea near the settlement where the white spirits used to live. In the distance, she spots a Viking ship, and she feels urgently that she must follow it. Star of Daylight commences a journey across the great water, knowing that she must travel home in order to put the past behind her, rescue Night Moon and face Vander, once and for all.
