Caught in the turmoil between Irish leaders and Vikings in eleventh-century Ireland, Princess Maire mac Domnaill desires freedom-the freedom to write the stories and history of her people and the fae folk, rather than being locked in an unhappy political marriage like her mother. When her hand is promised to the brutish son of Brian Boru, the king of Southern Ireland, to unite the north and the south in the coming war, she has no choice but to flee.Black Thorfinn is a warrior of the sea. His past and heritage are unknown, but his bravery and strength are admired by those who know him, even as his battle-weary soul has become inured to matters of the heart. When Thorfinn helps Maire fight off a pair of brigands, however, a spark of love is lit-a spark that will bring hope in the coming days of war and political machinations.Vividly weaving together history and the joy of folklore and tradition in a Medieval Irish setting, Waves of Love is a story of the importance of purpose, truth, and love in a world beset by conflict.
