A Shield Maiden's Earl: A Scottish Fantasy Historical Romance

By Sky Purington

When a fierce shield-maiden touched by the Valkyries is forced to marry a powerful Norwegian earl, fiery passion ignites, and destiny unfolds.

Freya: Born of seers and Vikings of old, I never could have imagined my father someday ordering me to hand over my shield and blade to the man he made me wed. Nor could I have fathomed that man would be Earl Soren Dahl. A warrior chieftain known for his battle prowess and incredible feats, who has long wanted me. When he arrives on my shores to claim me, I expect to despise him, yet he sets my blood afire. More telling, my mystical talisman claims we are fated.

Soren: From the moment I laid eyes on Freya Helvig, as a child, I knew she would someday be mine. Though it took years of making a name for myself and building my tribe into one of the most formidable strongholds in the Kingdom of Norway, I finally claimed her. Or at least I tried. My beautiful, feisty bride-to-be is a force to be reckoned with. A force I welcome, ready to go to battle and conquer her heart, no matter what it takes.

Brought together by the Norns, Freya and Soren navigate the ever-changing landscape of thirteenth-century Scandinavia, amid love and destiny. Brought together and torn apart by the whims of magic and mortal men, by King H kon and the Battle of Largs, ushering in the beginning of the end of Norse rule over Scotland. Will Freya and Soren be lost to each other in the end? Or will they survive all that's determined to separate them?
