Viking Daughter

Legally unable to refuse a forced-marriage, teenage Hávi, an 8th century goat-rancher, is forced to wed an aged stranger, whom she later discovers rules the largest clan in Sweden. Torn from her backwater village to grace the first throne she's ever seen, Hávi becomes swept up in deadly politics that threaten not only her new-found position but her life. To spare other girls the rape and ignominy she endured on her horrific wedding night, Hávi determines to take clandestine lessons in the den Skaanske Lov, the law-code of Scandinavia, which is forbidden to women, and the only jarl willing to teach her is her husband's hated enemy. But revelation of her legal knowledge and loveless marriage spark invasions, reprisals, and force Sweden to the brink of civil war. Hávi must assume command of clan Austmaðr, endure legal challenges, and defy existing to laws to save all the lands of the Skåne, spare the life of her only son, and hide the secret of her romantic trysts, of which the slightest rumor could destroy Scandinavia.
