RightStuf Synopsis:

As Canute plots to become ruler of the entire Danish world, Thorfinn's only ambition is to see a harvest profitable enough to buy his own life back. But the fates of prince and slave will come together once again, as Canute plans to seize Ketil Farm from its kindhearted master. What sinister tricks does the have up his sleeve, and could they dash Thorfinn's hopes for freedom? Meanwhile, Einar's infatuation with Arnheid takes an unexpected turn when her former husband - an escaped slave - barges onto the farm, insisting she run away with him...

Why?:

I will admit to falling so behind on this series. But I’m intending to catch up soon, because it’s definitely a series worth reading. It’s beautiful, the storyline so interesting and violent and complex. I’m not even a fan of historical, but the Vikings have me intrigued. Plus, hardcover editions with a color page? They’re so gorgeous.

There was a pause before this volume is being released, and now the sales on this volume and the next will decide whether more will be released. I’m not even caught up and I don’t want this series discontinued. The price has been low on Amazon lately, and I hope that it does well.

Also, I love the cover of this volume. It's intense and beautiful.
