Book Description:
Cybil is thrilled when she and
her family inherit a million dollar ocean-side house in Winter Harbor, Maine.
It’s a chance to finally bring her sisters back together and right old wrongs.
But problems arise. Her gift of prophecy grows stronger. A Viking from the past
haunts her. And that old ash tree in the front yard? It has taken on the
otherworldly qualities of Yggdrasill, a tree that connects the nine worlds in
Norse mythology. Soon caught in its power, she’s whisked back in time to tenth-century
Scandinavia.
Of dragon blood and set to
inherit the throne, Heidrek Sigdir tries to keep Cybil away, but the gods have
other plans. A fate designed to make him pay for past grievances. Yet when he
finally lays eyes on her, he wants nothing else. They share a connection unlike
any other. Poignant desire. Incomparable need. Tempting change. Even so, he
must let her go. She should be with his brother. Still, nothing is what it
seems. A new enemy is determined to destroy all and Cybil is special to him and
his people in ways nobody anticipated.
Many revelations come to light
when Heidrek and Cybil are forced to journey across the rugged lands of Norway
to reach the home of the seers at the peak of Mt. Galdhøpiggen. Hearts will be
tested and lives forever changed. Will a new Viking King rise up and keep his
people safe? Or will his endless draw to a modern day woman be his ultimate
ruin?
Excerpt
#1
Everyone said
their goodnights as she climbed the stairs. Thankfully, there was a deck off
her bedroom. One she utilized despite the storm. Elbows braced on the railing,
she stared at the tree, her thoughts still on Heidrek. Some might say he
haunted her, but she didn’t quite look at it like that. Not when he was trying
to keep her away.
Not when he was
somehow trying to protect her and her family.
She thought of
those that might be his family. Lightning crisscrossed the sky, illuminating the
choppy ocean. Kol was a relative. She closed her eyes and focused on the name
and let it lead her to others. Kol’s brothers. Naðr Véurr…a king. Raknar. All
the men who had ended up with Amber’s sisters. Her thoughts chased them until
they focused on a young blond boy with a stutter and deep sadness. He grew,
changed, became a man.
Heidrek.
Her eyes snapped
open, and she focused on the tree again. He had become something unexpected.
What he became changed everything. It would make him a king.
The king.
Someone so
important that it drew attention. She blinked and shook her head as thunder
crashed and the rain fell harder. No, he drew attention by his actions. He
brought trouble to his people…to his family.
That’s what he
had been trying to tell her all along.
Stay away.
Stay safe.
And she would.
He needed to know that.
