The Current: A Battle of
Seduction
(A Tales of Freya short story)
The "Tales of Freya" is a collection of
sensual short stories set in the Viking age –
and it opens with "The Current – A Battle of
Seduction"!
Viking warrior Aldaith
meets his real match only after the battle:
Marked from the latest
battle, Aldaith wants to recover by a stream. But instead of finding solitude,
he stumbles on the fearless shield maiden Nyssa. The fierce beauty invites
Aldaith into the water to engage in a very different kind of battle -- one for
which his training leaves him unprepared.
"Sarah Dahl brings a crisp, contemporary
voice to an ages-old world of battle, bloodshed and primal indulgences. Her
refreshing style not only draws the reader back into ancient times; it brings
the characters to us, allowing us to meet in the middle for a vibrant and
accessible experience.
From two ravaged warriors reaping the spoils of
war to the sensuality of a medieval menage, Ms. Dahl has a way of making scars
sexy and luring out the vulnerability in the invulnerable."
J.D. Lexx, author of The Crimson Confessions
"With her unique writing style and in-depth
knowledge of this bygone era, she brings the world of clashing swords, dashing
warriors, and strong, independent shield maidens to life.
Brutality turns into sensuality in an instant,
leaving the reader satisfied, yet craving more. Her writing is addictive, and
every story in this brand new and exciting series is sure to thrill and
delight."
Elaine Coetzee, author of Runo's Curse
"A clever concept, focusing not on the
chieftains and knights, but the very people battling to love and survive. Very
naughty in concept, steam and steel meet in harmony in the imagination."
Chris Cherry,
author of the Bestselling Love and War novels
