The Raven and The Wolf

Thora Thorsdottir has always walked the line between two worlds.

Born of a Saxon lady and a fierce Dane war-chief, Thora was raised in the wild beauty of Northumbria-strong, self-sufficient, and free from the bloodshed that once divided her people. With her father's tribe at peace and her mother teaching her the wisdom of the Saxon court, Thora has carved a quiet life of purpose, far from the ambitions of kings and warriors.

But peace is fragile.

When Uhtred of Bebbanburg rides into her village under the banner of the Saxon crown, he brings with him news of coming war-and a presence Thora cannot ignore. A warrior forged by fire and torn between loyalties of his own, Uhtred is drawn to Thora's fire, her pride, and her strength. She, in turn, sees in him a man who understands the duality she has lived with her whole life.

As tensions rise between Saxon and Dane once more, Thora's world begins to unravel. Loyalties are tested, bloodlines called into question, and the life she thought she'd secured begins to slip through her fingers. Caught between her father's legacy and her mother's past, Thora must decide where her heart-and her future-truly lie.

And in Uhtred, she may find not only a kindred spirit... but a love powerful enough to reshape the fate of kingdoms.
