Passions flare in the icy north in the third Sons of the North Romance novel from the author of The Warlord's Wife and The Iron Princess...
Sovia, daughter of Baron Losna, is on a mission to seduce Stål Magnusson, firstborn son of Swedish warlord Jarl Magnus Knutson and heir to his seat. With a civil war on, the stakes are high. The Baron needs the money and political alliance that Sovia's marriage to Stål would secure. Fortunately, Sovia's skill with men, not to mention the rugged good looks of her target, makes the assignment all too easy. But the tables turn when Sovia realizes she has taken the wrong Magnusson- Stål's twin brother Hök-to bed. Wrong brother or not, Hök is enamored, and offers to marry Sovia. When that offer is rejected by her father, Hök's heart and pride are broken.
Seven years later, as Lady Sovia is about to be executed by Norway's usurper king, Hök, now a battle-hardened warrior, comes to her rescue-by finally taking her hand in marriage. Though his intent is to take revenge, as well as her hereditary land, he cannot help but be impressed by her unbreakable spirit. But Lady Sovia has secrets that will make it nearly impossible for them to live happily ever after...

"Assassin's Creed: Valhalla: Blood and Oaths"
In this epic reimagining of Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Eivor Varinsdottir, the fierce Raven Clan shieldmaiden, finds herself entangled in a forbidden romance with Randvi, the wife of her sworn brother, Sigurd Styrbjornsson. What begins as a hidden passion ignites into a love so powerful that it threatens to reshape the future of Ravensthorpe and all of England. Bound by desire, duty, and destiny, Eivor and Randvi defy tradition and claim each other-not as lovers in the shadows, but as wives in the eyes of the gods and their people. Their union, however, sparks a rift that tears through the Viking world, drawing them into a brutal conflict with Sigurd and the hidden hands of the Order of the Ancients, who seek to manipulate their war for their own gain. Amidst savage battles, political intrigue, and the looming specter of war, the two women must navigate the treacherous landscape of alliances and betrayals. As they lead Ravensthorpe into its most perilous era, they uncover a conspiracy stretching across the Saxon lands-one that threatens not just their home, but the very future of England itself. But even as blades clash and oaths are broken, Eivor and Randvi's love remains unshaken, burning like a beacon in the darkness. Together, they forge a new path-one not dictated by fate, but by their own hands. A story of war and devotion, vengeance and redemption, Assassin's Creed Valhalla: Blood and Oaths is a saga where love is both a weapon and a shield, and where two Viking women defy gods and kings to carve out their own legend.Complete
