At not quite fifteen, Stefan’s father finally let him board the longship Sja Vinna to take part in his first Viking raid. Yet, the battle was not at all what he expected, and he soon found himself alone and stranded in Scotland. Thirteen-year-old Kannak’s problem was just as grave. Her father deserted them and the only way to survive, she decided, was to take a husband over her mother‘s … mother‘s objections. Suddenly she was helping a hated Viking escape. Could Kannak successfully hide a Viking in the middle of a Scottish Clan? And why was someone plotting to kill the clan’s beloved laird?

A good young adult book.
History
Great view of early Scottish and Viking lifestyles and history. Romance and true love without focus on sex. Very good character development. Can’t wait to read more from this author.
I liked this book a lot!
liked the way the character developed, but it became to predictable in the end…
Do not write about history you know nothing about. Am a history enthusiastist, particularly of Scandinavia because of ansestor. After 3rd huge mistake, removed from my devise!
Fantastic – can’t wait to read the next one in the series!
Great book.
Marti Talbott is the female Louis L’Amour. She has the ability to write interesting prose that grabs you and holds your interest throughout the book — without resorting to the crutches of sex, profanity, or graphic violence. She writes books that are suitable for younger readers — but I’m in my sixties, and I found it very readable, very …
not very good.
I have heard the term “We all have Viking Blood” now I understand. The Vikings were very successful in conquering most of Northern Europe and some say as far as the Americas. This book gives you insight to what it was like to live in the prime of the Viking period.
I liked the story line as well as the historical perspective. I satrted reading the 2nd book in the series.
Well done and kept your attention.
An easy and quick read. Rather fun and kept you interested. Would recommend.
I like to read historical romance.
Just never could connect with it at all .do not finish it bored me
Simplistic with underdeveloped characters. The language sounded forced and unnatural.
