Mark of the Ansgar

For years it was just Ciara and her Pa. He taught her how to run a self-sufficient home, and once she was old enough, how to protect herself. He taught her how to wield a blade, how to ride a horse, and how to use underestimation to her advantage. But he wasn't just her master, he was her father.

When Ciara finds her father murdered in his own home, she sets out for revenge. Her only sense of direction is her father's mention of the Ansgar before his dying breath. She doesn't know who, or what they are, but she will find them and learn her answers. When she stumbles upon Xander and Sebastian, it's the last thing she expects. The young men are leaders of an age-old war between the Ansgar and their sworn enemies, a fight that revolves around Ciara's own existence.
