Set
in 1022 in the kingdom of Svea (Sweden), this is the story of warring Viking
leaders and a rough yet noble warrior who serves the man who saved his life.
Brandr wants to leave Uppsala to start a new life, but his desire to protect
the slave, Sestra, keeps him from leaving.
Sestra
is a thrall who has known only abuse from men who lust after her beauty. But
when she tells the Viking leader of a treasure hidden by their enemy, Brandr
and she are sent to find it. To Sestra, Brandr is a mysterious figure, a man of
strength whose only words are ones meant to tease yet he always treats her with
respect.
This
is a Viking version of lost on a desert isle. Alone and facing the enemy who
would be eager to kill them, Brandr and Sestra discover passion between them as
they fight to survive. Choices must be made by each as to what is truly
important. Brandr is a freeman and Sestra longs to be free. She hopes the
treasure will bring her that freedom.
Conkle

the tale. Some exciting scenes will hold your attention and for those who like
a spicy romance, Conkle has delivered a romance with many scintillating love
scenes.
