Young women with courage.  Swords with names.  Vikings with tattoos.  Danger.  Passion.  Survival. Warfare.  Sheep.  And Other Good Things...

The year 871.  Of seven Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, five have fallen to the invading Vikings.  Across this war-torn landscape travels fifteen year old Ceridwen, now thrust into the lives of the conquerors.  But living with the enemy affords Ceridwen unusual freedoms - and unlooked-for conflicts.  Amongst them she explores again her own heathen past, and learns to judge each man on his own merits.  Her divided loyalties spur her to summon all her courage - a courage which will be sorely tested as she defies both Saxon and Dane and undertakes an extraordinary adventure to save a man she has never met.

The first book of The Circle Trilogy, enjoyed by thousands of readers in over 125 nations.

Northumbria ✓, écrit par theresaporter

Alfred will marry a Mercian lady, and they will form a strong alliance to overthrow these heathens" -her eyes bore deeply into Elfreda's- "and the only thing left of us will be our mangled corpses hanging over the rampart. Men will not save us, for we are simply pawns in their game!" Warning: contains adult themes (gore, intercourse) I don't own Vikings

HEIR | The Cursed Monarchy | Book 1, écrit par marcellaiswriting

~ COMPLETE AND NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON ~ In the Five Kingdoms of Saol Eile, magic is the only currency and those who have the most cast long shadows across the land. Amidst lavish parties, sumptuous banquets, and sprawling castles, despicable tyrants have risen, calling themselves kings by right; emperors, by the laws of old magic, and monarchs, by the wealth they've procured. When it's rumored that an army of flesh-eating monsters has risen from the shadows, tyrant-kings are forced to submit to a far more dangerous power - the sorcerer standing at the head of it all: The Cursed One. Orphaned and penniless, eighteen-year-old Cecily Trask's magic has always been reluctant to emerge. But with the kingdoms at the brink of war, she vows to do whatever it takes to keep her people safe-even if it means breaking all the rules, reaching into the depths of her soul to unravel the bindings around her true power, and allying with the potentially dangerous prince, Daire Niadh, to do it. In a landscape thick with mistrust, desire, and incipient hope, Cecily and Daire cross paths in an unfamiliar world forever changed by violent forces neither of them understand. They should hate each other. They should want each other dead. But their grief both draws them together and breaks them down, until all they have left is their shared goal - to defeat The Cursed One, even though for Cecily, the journey means almost certain death. ❧ Copyright © Marcella Colavecchio, 2014 - 2020.
