Fury - S. Roit

In the age of Vikings, Vigmund of Mercia, an honorable servant of the crown, is sent by ship to the North Man's land for what he believes is a mission of peace. Just after dawn on the second day of his group's arrival, there is an attack. He's left to face the mightiest warrior he's ever crossed blades with...

It's a woman.

Prepared to meet his Maker, the next time he opens his eyes it's to see the same ethereal woman of snow and ice tending to him, having spared him for reasons he doesn't comprehend. He soon discovers that not only was he betrayed, he is the last of his group alive. Determined to return home and uncover the truth behind the lie, he warily accepts the woman's offer to escort him. There begins a passionate love affair that takes them back across the North Sea and to a revelation that rocks Vigmund's world view.

Not only has his entire life been a lie, but the woman, this warrior of uncommon beauty, is not what she first seemed. Or is she? Their love affair spirals towards doom as they close in on Mercia, where Vigmund learns that some oaths were made for breaking.

This is the tale of Vigmund and Freydis.
