A sweeping Viking Historical Romance of fate, betrayal, and fierce love in the age of Norse warriors. A blood debt owed. Two mortal enemies. One woman fated to choose between them. At the summer solstice festival passion and destiny collide. Born under the summer solstice and touched by the goddess Freya, Runa has always been an outsider; unwanted, unprotected, and unloved even by her own family. When she dares to claim her freedom, she never expects to lose her heart to two dangerous men nor that loving either of them could cost everything. Brand is driven by vengeance. The blood of his family cries out for justice and his hunt has led him to the very village that shelters his enemy. Bound by the sacred peace of the solstice festival, he is forced to wait before striking but the fiery pull of Runa, a child of the solstice, threatens to unravel everything he has sworn to do. Eiland should already be dead. Hunted for his past sins and battered by years of survival, he finds an unexpected reason to live in the arms of a mysterious solstice-born Runa. Fate is closing in, and soon he must decide should he reclaim his life or surrender it to Valhalla. As passion ignites and vengeance tightens its grip, Runa is caught between two men sworn to destroy each other. When the solstice fires fade and blood is finally spilled, only one will survive but her heart may not survive unbroken. A standalone Viking-age fantasy romance filled with forbidden desire, brutal rivalry, Norse mythology, and soul-deep passion. Perfect for readers who love intense love triangles, enemies-to-something-more, and romance forged in fire. If you love the dark intensity of The Northman , the epic passion of Vikings , and the fate-twisting power of Norse mythology, you’ll fall for Solstice Child . Recommended for mature readers.
