A stolen princess. A scarred warrior. Enemies forced to trust the one they fear the most.
Hidden within the Norse settlement at Kirkjaster, Princess Maithgemm of Strathclyde wants only to survive to protect her young son, but the Jarl's brother, Arne Olafsson, sees her not as a refugee, but as the enemy.
Arne is feared for his strength and recognised by the scars that cover his body-marks left by torture and betrayal. Trust is a luxury he can no longer afford, and love is a weakness he refuses to risk again.
When soldiers arrive in Kirkjaster, Maithgemm flees with her son straight onto the deadly winter moors. Arne follows determined to ensure she doesn't betray the village and soon they are stranded together by a brutal snowstorm. As a fragile trust forms, the past resurfaces with devastating force, threatening everything they've fought to survive. In a land divided by blood and betrayal, choosing to stand together may be the most dangerous decision of all.
The Viking's Princess Bride is a Scottish Historical Romance set in ninth-century Strathclyde, and the third book in the Brothers of Thunder series.
