Sibling rivalry, deceit, and seduction flourish among the rolling hills of Eire
Stolen from her home as a child, Amoda Ni Cormac has known only a life of pain, of struggle under the brutal hand of the Viking healer she's lived with. Memories haunt her and her heart yearns for more. Experience has taught her ? she will die a slave.
His brother's wedding brings Norse Prince Mykyl back to Bratthl'id Norway. A duty he loathes almost as much as his brother. When he comes face to face with the proud flame haired slave lurking behind his father's healer, Mykyl is torn. Within Amoda, a woman destined to be his oldest brother's concubine, he sees a chance for revenge. Driven by his hatred and the burning desire to humiliate Olaf, Mykyl steals the emerald eyed beauty.
Bound by duty, secrets, and lies, Mykyl and Amoda are locked in a battle of pride, wits, and survival that will set them free.
