Viking Beast by Emmanuelle de Maupassant

A reputation built upon ruthless savagery.
A warrior revelling in bloodshed and conquest.
A man bent on revenge.
Newly wedded to Eirik, now jarl of all Svolvaen, Elswyth carries the baby they both long for.
Their happiness seems assured, until Elswyth falls into the hands of Svolvaen’s fiercest adversary, sworn to avenge his wife’s death.
Elswyth must submit as his thrall or forfeit her life.
But the true murderer remains in their midst, and his ambition knows no bounds.
