An exiled Viking fights alongside a beautiful widow in a land filled with intrigue and revenge—in this second installment of the epic Forgotten Sons series about a Norse brotherhood. Hearts clash when an outcast Viking meets a woman seeking justice... Years ago, Bjorn was banished from Vellefold. Honor-bound, he'll fight for the settlement, then walk away. First, he must work with his childhood friend, now a high-ranking Viking lady. Fierce of spirit, Ilsa will do anything to save her people, but she has her doubts about stone-hearted Bjorn. His warrior eyes see too much, and the gods are stirring up trouble. Unwelcome lust and explosive secrets could destroy her. But, when the dark hour comes, what will the once-rejected warrior choose? Love? Or loyalty? For he cannot have both.
