The Jarl’s Captive: A Viking Historical Romance

Taken across the sea. Unbroken in spirit.Aelfwynn of Wessex is the best healer in her Saxon village, which is exactly why the Norse raiders do not kill her. Bjorn Ravensblood, jarl of Ravensfjord, has a settlement dying of a wasting sickness his own volva cannot cure, and a captured healer is worth more than plunder.Carried across the North Sea as a thrall, Aelfwynn makes a demand she is in no position to make: she will heal his people as a free woman, or not at all. Bjorn expected a cowering captive and got a Saxon woman staring down a jarl in his own hall. So he does the thing that shocks his clan and himself. He agrees.As she drags Ravensfjord back from the sickness one patient at a time, a rival jarl comes for both his fjord and his prize healer. The only bond the old gods truly honor is the one freely sworn. But a thrall cannot wed a jarl, a Saxon cannot rule Norse, and the rival's raid is coming with the spring tide.The first book in The Jarls of Ravensfjord: a sensual Viking romance where the captive-to-consort bond is freely chosen, with a happy ever after.
