What did I think of the
story?
Everyone
has a past, but not everyone has a future. Sestra fears what her future will
bring, for she has just been sold to a new unknown
master. She has long stopped dreaming of freedom. But she can't stop her
feelings for a certain rough-souled Viking, called Brandr.
Brandr has no intention of
falling in love with a flame-haired thrall, but fate throws them together.
Sestra has knowledge where a
great Viking treasure horde has been buried. If she can find the treasure, then
maybe she can buy her freedom. But what use is freedom if Brandr isn't there to
share it with her?
I cannot put into words how
much I loved this book. Conkel has brought the Viking world back to life in
this beautiful, beautiful, romance.
Sestra is the most perfect of
heroines. She has been a slave since birth and has never known what freedom is,
and now her master want to sell her, and there is nothing she can do about it.
However, despite all this, she isn't a bitter character. She is kind and
compassionate, feisty when she needs to be, and can give as good as she gets, especially
when it comes to Brandr.
I loved the banter between
Brandr and Sestra. It made their relationship very real in the telling and
believable.
I really liked Brandr. He is
the perfect match for this fiery red-head and despite trying to keep his distance
from Sestra, he feels compelled to protect her. And protect her he will, no
matter what the cost to him.
An evocative, emotional read,
set in the land of the Vikings. What could be better?
I Highly Recommend.
