He made her his thrall, but she enthralled him.

909AD. Newly widowed, Lady Eadlin of Mercia longs to claim her independence. When King Edward of Wessex orders her to remarry for political gain, she flees to a convent—only to be captured in a Viking raid. Taken deep into the Danelaw, she finds herself under the control of a powerful enemy.

Jarl Thorolf has fought his last raid. Determined to put down his sword to farm his lands—the only path to lasting peace between Dane and Saxon. However, his latest captive may cost him dearly: the defiant novice is no mere runaway, but King Edward's goddaughter—and he wants her back.

If Eadlin escapes, she risks falling into the king's hands. If she stays, she risks losing her heart to the enemy.

Captivated by Lady Eadlin, Thorolf must decide whether to grant her sanctuary/ or return her to King Edward and prevent war between Danes and Saxons. Will he choose peace or love?

Perfect for fans of Viking romance, this is a tale of enemies to lovers, forbidden desire, and a love strong enough to challenge kings.
