For as long as I can remember, I've known things I have no way of knowing-it's almost like getting little whispers from the future, little hints about what's going to happen... When I receive an email from an unknown sender about a little town called Marshall Heights, I can't seem to shake the feeling that I'm meant to move there. Fast forward a few weeks and I find myself starting over in this postage-sized town. And when I happen to see him loading groceries into an old truck, I'm shocked speechless. I've been in love with Torsten Black ever since he left me with no explanation eight years ago. Not a day has gone by that I haven't thought of him. So, to see him here, now, in this Podunk town... it has to be fate. But, Torsten isn't as happily surprised to see me. Instead, he appears to be haunted by his past-a past full of secrets and lies. Torsten insists he's not the same man he used to be. He also insists that I'm not safe in Marshall Heights-something which becomes abundantly clear when Torsten's brother, Skarde, a full-blown Viking warrior come from another realm, suddenly shows up in my apartment and tries to murder me. Realizing I'm not the witch he thinks I am, Skarde releases me and then demands I join his cause-a cause I know and want nothing to do with. Even if Skarde is just as gorgeous as his brother, he's a loose cannon. Whereas Torsten is dark and brooding, Skarde is cocky and demanding. The two can't stand each other and, at this point, I'm starting to agree with them both. Regardless, now I'm not only involved in something I don't understand, I'm in over my head. In over my head = Viking wolf shifters, jealous and vengeful goddesses, and the start of the first of three winters which will doom mankind. Learning I possess the blood of the Valkyrie (from Odin) as well as the blood of the witches (from Freya), I'm straddling the line between both pantheons of gods. Stuck in the eye of the storm, I have no idea how to get out...

When Chloe Adams was four her shiftless parents abandoned her on the side of the road. But now she's a DIY domestic goddess, and engaged to the hottest alpha in Colorado-- that is until a sexy, time-traveling Viking werewolf shows up to claim her as his fated mate.

In AD 793 Norse warriors struck the English isle of Lindisfarne and laid waste to it. Wave after wave of Norse ‘sea-wolves’ followed in search of plunder, land, or a glorious death in battle. Much of the British Isles fell before their swords, and the continental capitals of Paris and Aachen were sacked in turn. Turning east, they swept down the uncharted rivers of central Europe, captured Kiev and clashed with mighty Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire. But there is more to the Viking story than brute force. They were makers of law - the term itself comes from an Old Norse word - and they introduced a novel form of trial by jury to England. They were also sophisticated merchants and explorers who settled Iceland, founded Dublin, and established a trading network that stretched from Baghdad to the coast of North America. In The Sea Wolves, Lars Brownworth brings to life this extraordinary Norse world of epic poets, heroes, and travellers through the stories of the great Viking figures. Among others, Leif the Lucky who discovered a new world, Ragnar Lodbrok the scourge of France, Eric Bloodaxe who ruled in York, and the crafty Harald Hardrada illuminate the saga of the Viking age - a time which “has passed away, and grown dark under the cover of night”.
