“A gritty story of a Scot’s lass . . . who will let no man break her pride . . . A historical work of great depth, texture and attention to detail” (AllReaders.com).

Doireann is the proud daughter of a Scottish chieftan, her beauty renowned through the land of her father, and yet she chose to remain unbound and alone, free from submitting to the desires of any man. As the tides of war and pillage reach her homeland, she finds herself sold into the hands of the fearsome Viking pirate Thorsten, the wild leader of the frenzied Norse Bear Cult. She must survive the humiliation of being Thorsten’s woman, through pagan rituals and violent battles, as only her pride keeps her from submitting to his passion . . .
