Torn between bloodfeud and desire...After his younger brother returns from Northumbria with a Saxon bride, Roald Blood Axe refuses to welcome her into the family. His brother has married an enemy, which goes against everything Roald believes in. But when his sister-in-law collapses from a mysterious illness, Roald does what any man of honor should, he searches for the most gifted healer. Torn between mistrust and temptation...As the last healer in her Sami line, Eva is expected to assume the role as noaidi after her mother dies. Until then, she lives in the shadows-gathering herbs and practicing her art on injured animals. One night while she's camping in the foothills, she encounters an enemy warrior who stirs more than her doubt. She accompanies Roald to his home where she promises to heal his sister-in-law.Faced with rejection and violence, Eva braves the tumultuous world of the lowlanders to stay true to her oath as a healer. Spending time with Eva makes Roald realize he craves more than bedsport-he wants love and everything it offers. Together, Roald and Eva make an indomitable pair. But when Eva's brothers and Roald's greatest enemy join forces to destroy Roald's home, will love keep them together or will outside interference separate them forever?
